    About a month ago I saw a posting to the board about Enhanced
Rainbow/VENIX. Not being familiar with Unix and its variants but
anxious to learn about DOS alternatives, I'd like to know a bit
more about VENIX. Who sells it? How much does it cost? Could it
run DOS as an application (so my current software library would
not have to be discarded)? How does it compare to DOS performance-
wise? What reasons would one have for prefering VENIX over
DOS?
