At one point, a long time ago, I was working on a machine which was a single-user machine running RT-11 and which was going to become a multi-user machine. I looked both at RSX-11M and UNIX (Sixth Edition!), and concluded that UNIX was FAR friendlier to the novice user. As such, UNIX with a menu-oriented shell is probably as good as RSX-11M with a menu-oriented shell for the novice user. The claim that UNIX is ONLY good for programmers is a base canard (as opposed to an acid canard). Guy Harris RLG Corporation (decvax!duke!mcnc!rlgvax!guy)
