[ "The best government, is no government at all." ]

Here's a question for anyone who was at COMDEX last month, or better yet,
for anyone at CBM who can comment on the subject.

There's been considerable discussion about the feasibility of running the
announced version of UNIX(R) under AmigaDOS (or vice versa).  I believe
most "answers" to the question have been "No".

Well, along comes the July issue of "The Amiga Sentry" magazine that says
on page 7 (quoted without permission):

"There were simultaneous demonstrations of the new UNIX system, along with
 Ms-Dos and Amiga-Dos.  Dr. Henry Rubin, who proctored this segment of the
 conference, assured the members of the press that these three seperate
 systems were running concurrently on a single Amiga"

Now, I certainly don't believe everything I read, but I am (very) interested
in such a possibility.  So I ask ... what *did* Dr. Rubin say WRT this demo?
Did anyone attend this session?  Etc?

Just wishfully thinking ...
