I have never used the program ANIX, but from what I have heard about it, I 
gather that is nothing more than a ProDOS overlay.  More or less you that means
you can send it commands similar to UNIX (ls, cat, more, etc), but all it does
is interpret it to a form ProDOS can understand (cat or catalog), and outputs
the result to your screen.  it is by no means UNIX.

If i'm wrong, someone please tell me.  I would love an Apple based UNIX.
