Wendin, Inc ( (509) 235-8088 ) has what they call PC-VMS and PC-UX which are programs which sit on top of PC-DOS and implement a VMS flavored or Unix look-a-like environment. 3 users, up to 10 simultanious jobs( changable), uses PC-DOS executables, C and Turbo Pascal interfaces, and complete source code in Microsoft C 3.00. Price is near $100 I bought a copy this summer - It works, but some pc-dos progs won't run under it (Lotus, WordStar...) so it prob. won't hack it as a 'production' OS right now, but as a 'development' system it's OK! DISCLAIMER: I don't work for Wendin, and they aren't paying me to say this. etc etc etc
