But in case I didn't, allow me to do so; there WILL be a UN*X version, if the project is a success. Unfortunately, having a UN*X version from the start would probably help MAKE the project a success, but Phil is bankrolling the project, and thus calling the shots, and he feels that the three stated platforms need to come first (especially the IBM PC version, with which he is both most familiar, and has the most business at stake). Although I do not consider myself a "guru" on VMS *or* UN*X, I have done enough programming under VMS to be doing that version, and I am becoming more and more familiar with UN*X as time goes on; with a little luck, I'll be able to convince Phil that the UN*X version should immediately follow. > Do you plan to continue ignoring UNIX users? Who said that UN*X users were being ignored? Maybe just not being served first... >Don Malpass [malpass@LL-vlsi.arpa], [malpass@spenser.ll.mit.edu] -- - Mike Shawaluk (...!uunet!uwmcsd1!lakesys!mikes)
