Hi Gang,
    Seems to me that a good shell and the usual collection of U**X
utilities on top of a good multitasking kernel gives one MOST of
"real unix" without all of the expense (resource, price, etc) and
hassle. Since this already exists for the Amiga, thanks to some very
talented people in both the commercial world and the public domain,
why do we need "real unix"? If one wants to go that far, buy a Sun
and have the real thing. Or have I missed something somewhere?
