There are at least 5 different versions of UNIX currently running
on the 68000 in some sort of workstation configuration.  They are:

	i.   UNISOFT version 7
	ii.  XENIX version 7
	iii. Fortune version 7
	vi.  MIT version 7
	v.   LUCASFILM version 7

I would like to know the following things:

	a.  Have I missed any other ports/flavors of 68000 unix?

	b.  What are the relative merits/deficiencies of the various
	    versions in terms of the following or your own categories

		performance
		reliability
		support

	c.  What does the future hold?  I already know what Bill Joy wrote
	    about the Sun Microsystems plans for 4.2 UNIX.

and finally,

	I would love to hear any personal testimonials from anyone who
	has actually used any of these.

I will keep a collection of all the replies and send them off to anyone
who is interested.

Thanks,
Michael Wahrman
