USA Lines: 18 PLEASE! Before you post, THINK! MINIX is based on AT&T's version 7 UNIX(R), NOT on BSD4.* or System V. DON'T tell me MINIX is broken because it doesn't have an auto-widget like *real* UNIX systems do and then mention that a *real* UNIX system to you is foobar system's CLONIX(*) 88. Find a V7 guru or manual (yes, some of us still remember fondly V7 UNIX) and find out where you're wrong BEFORE wasting thousands of $$$'s of net connect time at hundreds of sites as half the readers say "oh yeah, it's broken" and the other half say "oh no, not again". Also, if you're really not sure what's a feature and what isn't, send mail to someone who should know, and let them post a reply ONCE to the net. Thank you for your continued support. Mike Lindner ....!ihnp4!attunix!mpl P.S. (R) UNIX is a registered trademark of AT&T (*) I just made CLONIX up and I may use it for a name (no not mine) someday, so I'm reserving all the rights to it, so there!
