 Now that it appears unlikely that a real UNIX will apprear for the ST,
what about UNIX subsets? A few of these appeared on the IBM side of the
market (aside from 1 or 2 real UNIX implementations such as XENIX) and
have some supporters. Typically multitasking abilities are eliminated
or greatly reduced but at least the more common commands are the same
and, due to the great simplification, it isn't pure folly to run some
of them on a floppy system.

 Understand I'm not volunteering for this sort of thing (The ATs' XENIX
bugs keep me plenty busy) but am curious if 1) There is a demand and 2)
anyone is working on such a beast.
