Hello, folks !

I don't read this newsgroup frequently, so I'm sorry if this question is
asked the 1001. time.

My problem is the following: I plan to buy a NeXT and run some common
*IX-Software on it, especially CNews. I would like just to compile the
Software ( and may be make some minor changes in the Source, but I don't
want to have much trouble ) and know it will run without any bigger problems.

My NeXT-dealer ( of course ;-) assures, that Mach is on source-code-level
*fully* compatible to BSD4.3 Unix. Is this true ? Has anyone discovered
any incompatibilities or made expriences in running CNews on a NeXT ?

Must I expect difficulties in compiling common *IX-Sources ?

Greetings,
          Carsten
