Well,, it won't run concurently with Amigados. Additionally, it is sysVr4, making it quite nice for portable applications. Previous Unixes (Unices?) were source code compatible between machines, but rev 4 also has something called Application Binary Interface, making it possible to write software that will run on any rev 4 OS which is running on a machine that uses the same CPU chip. -larry
