I am using Venix for several years now and have the folowing comments. 1. it IS System V UNIX. 2. It has a faster 'feel' for the interactive user than Xenix or Microport 3. It seems to be bug free. This system is running news and I am doing most of the development on it. I have had no problems for at least a year now, and the system is on the air 24 hours a day. A few times I had to remove the -O options when compiling, but same counts for 3B2 UNIX. 4. Venturecom claims it to be REAL TIME. I have no experience with REAL real-time on this system, and don't know if the venix system calls are interruptable. Honzo Svasek,PS. Anyone out there has a way to install 2.2 on a Seagate ST4096 disk? (on an AT)
