Sure, it's nice to fit a ship into a bottle, but if I'm % <^> going on a cruise, I'd rather take the QE2 (if I'm trying to get from % <^> point A to point B, I'll probably take an airplane). The point is that you can't fit VMS on the ST, but RSX would fit just fine. The Amiga O/S is very similar to RSX (with a much less chaotic file system), and it runs just fine on a 68000 with no MMU. % This conversation is quickly leading nowhere. I'm sorry I % replied to the person who supports VMS earlier. If it doesn't apply to % the ST, this is the wrong place for the discussion. Lets talk about how % to improve the ST not fight on which other operating system is best. Sorry, I thought that's what I was doing. I'm only an ex-STer, but I'm trying to help. -- -- `-_-' Peter (have you hugged your wolf today?) da Silva. -- U Mail to ...!uunet!sugar!peter, flames to /dev/null. -- "Running DOS on a '386 is like driving an Indy car to the Stop-N-Go"
