	I have read comp.sys.amiga.xxxx groups and seen plenty of
information about the new Amiga operating system version 2.0. I've
probably missed something, because I don't know does the OS2.0 use the
MMU to prevent those nasty Gurus. Therefore, I have the following
questions:

1)If the OS2.0 does not support the MMU upto the extent where all
application programs could run independently, i.e not corrupting other
programs' data, can you tell me what is the reason?

2)If the OS2.0 supports the MMU (I'd really like it to happen) will this
cause any compatibility problems with the older versions of the OS?

3)If the OS2.0 doesn't support the MMU, is it because the UNIX version
for the amiga (in the distant future) will?

4)Are there some hardware related things that could prevent me using the
MMU while bypassing the OS?

5)Are there any existing programs using the MMU?

If you think this topic is not found generally interesting by
comp.sys.amiga.tech readers, free feel to email.
