I continue to be amazed at how so many people are just gobbling | up the AT&T corporate line on the effects of OSF on the Unix* market. +--------------- ??? Many of the messages I've seen have NOT been pushing AT&T/Sun: they're pushing FSF's GNU. Wake up out there! If the Hamilton Group and/or the OSF really meant what they said, they'd be funding Gnu development. The OSF is yet another devil, masquerading as Unix's guardian angel. Hah! Certainly, AT&T/Sun isn't the answer -- but if you believe DEC/IBM is, you're one heck of a gullible person. GNU FOREVER!!! -- Brandon S.
