Summary: 

cd /;rm -rf

	A couple of years ago, I had a UN*X look-a-like running on a Z80
machine.  It was basically a V6 re-do, and ran many things faster than my
current networked Alti.  The software was Micronix and it was from Morrow
computing.  It rand on their Decision I with 1/2 meg of memory and 15
meg hard disk.  With a 6 mhz z80 it supported 4 users easily, and had CP/M
as one of it's shells!  It did all the normal UN*X stuff, i/o redirection,
background tasks, print spoolers, 'bout half the normal UN*X utilities.
But if you typed 'WS', it would see that wordstar was a cp/m program, bring
up the CP/M shell, and run WordStar.  It was written by a guy named rick 
something, and mite still be available from Morrows.  Ran about $500.
