The last time I looked, the Sun was running the AppleShare system for Unix from Columbia. Part of the reason that it gets real slow at times is because the network link between the lab and the Sun is rather slow (AppleTalk), also it's running off of the Sun, which is doing a million other things (like letting you read news off of ssyx :-). As far as I know, I don't think they have released TOPS for Unix based computers, though considering that TOPS is owned by Sun, I'm sure it'll be along real soon now... +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | David Vangerov | | Just your average Theater Arts major with a weird thing for computers | | fiatlux@ucscc.BITNET || fiatlux@ucscc.ucsc.EDU || ...!ucbvax!ucscc!fiatlux | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
