In playing with it, it is much more like real UNIX than COHERENT (also have played with that). ALL the normal UNIX utilities are there and it comes with CSH and VI etc. etc. The speeds of both of these systems is notinh fantastic but what do you expect from an 8-bit bus and not super hard disk drive. Also note that there is a company out here in Vancouver, Canada that is/will be offering a tuned version of COHERENT. I think this implementation will actually allow multiple users doing I/O at reasonable speeds. Name is Network Consulting Inc. and I don't have the address hadny but I think they have adds in BYTE magazine. -- Peter Wolfe Microtel Pacific Research ..decvax!microsoft!ubc-vision!mprvaxa!wolfe
