I didn't mean to say that UNIX is perfect for the Berkeley RISC machine. What I meant to say is that the design of UNIX and the design of the RISC share some common ground, and the ground they share is important ground. When I say 'RISC' I am usually using it in a generic sense. I forgot that the rest of the world may not think that way.... The important idea is that the instruction set of a computer should provide the compiler with tools for implementing the semantics of a program. The best part about UNIX is that it gives the user so many useful tools with which to solve problems. That's the connection. bcase
