A number of law schools in Canada are interested in making use of
the CAI I have been developing for the Law Society. Some of these
schools have very tight budgets and can only afford PC's without
hard disks.

Is there any version, or fraction, of UNIX, which runs on the PC without
a hard disk? They wouldn't need any of the utilities (not even an editor,
for that matter). However, the program when running uses a complex
combination of forked processes with pipes, signal handling, longjmp,
etc.  It's written in C, of course.

It has been suggested to me that DOS 2.0 has enough UNIX-like
features that I should be able to get the thing to run under DOS.
Any comments on this?
