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?
