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
