Is this for real? Doesn't Unix use the full address space capabilities of the 286 & 386? For that matter, do the 286 & 386 allow you to get away from the silly 64K segments? I'm programming under MeSs-DOS now, and had really hoped not to have to think about segments (yech) when I got unix (which i am hoping to do...). -randy -- Randy Orrison, University of Minnesota School of Mathematics | UUCP: {ihnp4, seismo!rutgers, sun}!umn-cs!randy | (hello?)
