As one who had used the IBM PC XT running PC/IX for almost a year (in a
previous job) I must say I agree with the writer from INTERACTIVE. PC/IX
is a very nice port and a very nice UN*X system.  (It's no *ULTRIX*, but
it's nice... :-) )

I don't know where the write of the original comments is coming from,
but I don't agree with him/her.
