A recent infoworld had a front page article on a new system called
uNETix which proported to be a V7 compatible system for the IBM-PC.

The cruncher is they are selling it for $99 US funds.  The owners
claim this is a "loss leader" to attract attention to the their company
and other software.

Questions if you do see it:

1) How complete is the implementation?  Is it really v7 or what?  Does
it lack uucp like  Coherent?

2) How does it compare to Coherent and Xenix?  In particular, how long
does it take to compile a one line C program, and how long does it take
(real time) to do two of these compiles at the same time in the background.

3) Will this company continue to be around?
