  	Too all,


     NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I don't want or like VMS but I am forced to use it. I 
  don't like not having a command line editor in Unix either, but I deal with
  it. ALL operating systems have something missing. And before I get burnt off
  the face of the Internet, I know that I CAN have it but it is up to my
  system administation to support/find it. So effectively I dont have it.

     Unix IS more than an O/S it is PHILOSOPHY of design. I can cat | sed | awk 
  | sort mondofile to my hearts contents. I can build commands if I so desire
  People say that UNIX should be more graphically oriented (NEXT hides the
  UNIX prompt) but the fact that Ken had to work with character streams is
  UNIX's STRENGTHS. .

     Amix will not replace Amiga O/S and I would not want Amiga's O/S to replace
  Ultrix on my VAX 11/785. (talk about SLOWWWWWWW disk access) :-)
   
     Don't worry there will be uses for both, and most people wont be able 
  to afford Amix anyway (030 + License)
