The 'what''s new' column in the June 86 issue of BYTE features an article
describing Wendin's PCUNIX which sells for $99 US, sources included.  This
may be a premature enquiry, but has anyone tried this package ?  I am
planning to send BYTE a 'reader service' enquiry on this product, and will
post further information on it if there is enough demand.  The product
features 3-terminal support, Bourne shell, more than 70 commands, *.exe and
*.com file compatibility, MS-DOS system call translation, event-driven
scheduler which supports a mix of timeshared & real-time processes, UNIX
system calls from various languages.  It runs on IBM PCs and compatibles 
(I quote) with min 384K bytes and a 5M hard disk.  Sounds interesting.

P.S. Was/is the Bourne shell available from e.g. net.sources or anywhere
else on the net?
