	I have, for some time, been working on a Unix-like operating
system for micros (specifically, my H100...).  The project started
as a means to run Unix applications without all the bother of rewriting
system calls for MS-DOS (fork() is hard to rewrite for MS-DOS :-) and
has grown into a fairly complete emultaion of most BSD-style system calls.
(Yes, this includes all those wonderful tty ioctls, job control, etc.)
The system is nearly finished (but hardly debugged) and I plan to bring
it up on ibm-pc style machines soon; it should run without much trouble
on any 80*86-based micro.  Note that it does not use the Unix file-system
and is generally quite unlike Unix internally; only the system calls
are the same.  Also, it is stand-alone; it does not run under MS-DOS.
	It seems that this system might be sufficiently useful to distribute
for a nominal fee and I would like to know if there is interest in such
an offering.  I apologize if this sounds like an advertisement (it probably
is), but I know that I would have been interested in hearing about such
a program before I started to write one.  So please try to limit the
flames...
