Why would you want to downgrade the OS of your machine? From what I
have seen of both OS's the Amiga's is superior in terms of process
handling, task scheduling, I/O abstraction, etc. There is a port being
done for the ST (which is understandable considering...) and you may
be able to leverage that work, but please explain why. If you want a 
u*ix flavor user interface check out Matt Dillions shell. If you want
UNIX(TM) System V library calls check out the Lattice C compiler, (Aztec
if you want more BSD'ish type routines). What do you hope to gain?

Really, this isn't a flame, this is a question.
