For this reason, although I think the amiga is a wonderful machine, I won't purchase one without Unix on it. I would think that the way to do this would be to put Unix on the machine as the base operating system and write an Amigados emulator that dropped on top (as a shell). CLI could also be a shell. Graphics, multitasking and sound are wonderful but without Unix, it's just another computer. -- =======================--> Rebel or be oppressed! <--======================= Michael R.
