I took AIX off the PS/2 and put XENIX on because XENIX is more UNIX than AIX could ever hope to be. True, xwindows is nice. However, has anyone ever heard of a C compiler on any other UNIX put out a 4 line copyright message every time cc is invoked?? Sure makes "nohup make emacs" fun looking for errors in the nohup.out file. Many UNIX tools are replaced just because IBM wanted to. No lp, lpr. Just print. Doesn't msdos have print? AIX is not UNIX. It is IBM's version of a user friendly multiuser DOS. -randy -- Randy Suess randy@chinet.chi.il.us
