Very interesting to see Coherent mentioned here.  I just saw the ad for it
in PC Mag (9/11 issue).  This is a $99.95 software product that compares 
itself to something selling for $1,495!

In the same issue of PC Mag there is an article on DOS partitions, and it
mentions that 4.01 users could be endangered if they add certain "XENIX"
type OS's which put some erroneous info into the FAT.  I wonder if
Coherent would cause that problem.  

Ad for Coherent mentioned that its users will be able to access news and files
via UUCP.  This is a product I definitely want to learn more about.
