I can't sit here and not say something on that note: >The _absolute_ best realtime OS for a PC class machine is QUNIX (sp?). QNIX, and I was sent to school on it a couple of years ago. It is a good version of Unix alright and great for programmers or folks that want to run custom written business applications. But if Amiga died due to lack of popular software packages with AmigaDos, it would have died _in the crib_ for want of same with any *nix operating system. You know what Unix application programs cost? >People have been doing real world hardcore OS things since long before the ??Amiga. The Amiga just brought it the home first. that's it, you said it: Amiga did it for the masses first, and Amigados is now the most mature multitasking OS out there and will be for a while yet. I see WinNT and System 7 as at about the stage of development AmigaDos was when we ran 1.2 Ados. They have several revisions before they are equal to my Amiga. The AmigaDos OS is really very stable now. I have been involved in Unix installations that were so buggy the purchaser pulled his hair out too, crashing Oracle and dumping data everywhere. If you look at the AmigaDos commands and utilities we did in fact port a lot of Unix to Amigados too. Not VI editor, thank god, but a lot of the best commands. Tom Oklahoma City, OK
