	I remember last year when AMIX was coming Real Soon Now, there was a
lot of discussion on the net about the drawbacks:  System V instead of BSD, 
only ran on 68030 machines, and it wouldn't run concurrently with AMIGADOS.

	Somebody decided to develop an alternative Amiga Unix, called
as I recall Amigix, that would run under AmigaDOS.  (Imagine! MS-DOS under
UNIX under AmigaDOS... probably the only thing in the world slower than an
Apple II GS) What I wonder is whatever happened to this work?  DId the
author give up?  Did any of it get written?  Is work still going on?

Does somebody out there in netland know?
