This typifies the attitude at apollo. Instead of concentrating on the
good things in UNIX its the "not invented here" approach. I would feel
much happier about buying apollos if I did not see this sort of attitude
*ALL* the time from apollo staff and devotees. You can not talk to these
people without them trying to tell you how bad UNIX is and how great
Aegis is. It turns me (and a lot of other people) off. Many suppliers
like to point out how they have improved UNIX, but apollo is the only
one who seems to think they can single handedly improve every feature
and rewrite every utility to be better than the original.
