Hello!

I am looking into integrating MacOS and A/UX on some systems at work and have 
a few questions. Any and all help is greatly appreicated.

How seamless is the integration of the two operating systems when they 
co-reside on a machine?  i.e., can I transfer files between the two file
systems by dragging icons in the usual Mac fashion?  (I am referring to 
plain text files, so I don't think there should be any problems with files
getting scrambled due to their contents.)

Would another (possibly less expensive/better) alternative be to run MacX 
under MacOS and simply connect to the UNIX universe via ehternet?  What are 
the advantages/disadvantages of such an arrangement?

Are there any tools available for converting MS Word files to (shudder) troff
format & visa versa?  Have you had any experience with them?  Can you direct
me to a publisher/vendor of such tools?

Please respond to me via e-mail and I will summarize to the net.

Thanks in advance!

	Mike
