My curiousity was piqued by the appearance of this news group. I was
thinking about getting hold of something cheap and UNIX-like for
my PC and wondered what users thought of Coherent.  I came across
an early user last year who sent their copy back (I think they had
problems with the compiler) - I would imagine that the current version
was somewhat improved on the first version that came out(?).

From a brief scan thro' the news articles I get the impression that
Coherent is suffers from the same segmented meemory restrictions
as DOS. If this is the case, is a 386 version planned?

How does Coherent compare to Minix, MKS Toolkit(not cheap!), etc.?
