For $100.00 and some time spent downloading software, Coherent is a great
deal.  It is UNIX V7 compatible with some V5 extensions.  The machine I am
posting from at this moment is running Coherent 3.1.0, Cnews, and Rn.  I have
been running Coherent since early December, and have been very pleased.

I still can't believe it's not UNIX.

There is nothing like this in the public domain.
