The "Unix-like" operating system is called "Idris", and it's not
close enough to UNIX for me. If you have any strong feelings about
running stuff that you get from comp.sources.unix, stick to the real
thing.

In the UNIX hierarchy, Idris is a fork that was originaly a copy of
version 6 UNIX. It's been modified so it liiks like something more real,
but if you've ever tried to run System 3 compatible code on Xenix
system 3, you'll have as much faith in this as me.
