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. -- Fred Avolio, DEC -- U{LTR,N}IX Support 301/731-4100 x4227 UUCP: {seismo,decvax}!grendel!avolio ARPA: grendel!avolio@seismo.ARPA
