/* ---------- "Alternative OS's for AT Class machi" ---------- */
Recently I was asked by a friend that has an AT Class machine (CompuAdd 12MHz,  1 MEG of RAM, 60 Meg hard drive) if I knew of any other OS's for his machine. I probed and asked what types he had in mind. He said something like U*IX but at  the time he doesn't want to learn that many more commands. He asked if I had    ever heard of PCNX by Wendin Systems. I said yes but didn't know that much aboutit. My question to the net is does anyone have any information re:PCNX, either  good or bad. Please email respo



nses to me and if there is enough interest I willpost a summary to the net.
Thanks in advance.
Randy.

"Yes", replied Obi Wan, "I was a DOS programmer. But that was before the dark
 times, before OS2."
