Don I'll idmit that when I first heard about C= comming out with SVR4, I thought "Now I'll be able to run real Unix apps because of ABI, re-compile and all that". This is valuable if you can get by with only public domain software or packages where source is included. This is not the case for me. The apps that I develop must run with an SQL server. I do not know of any vendors that have made theirs avalable for the Amiga or 68030 ABI SVR4. I have checked with SYBASE, ORACLE, INFORMIX, and INGRES and so far no DICE. I have heard strong rummors about ORACLE comming to ABI 68030, but only rummors. The all say that they not only have to recompile but train their support staff as well. I have heard that UNISYS and perhaps Data General are working on their own 68030 ABI machines. I hope sg. This would definatly wake-up the software vendors to port their stuff. But if things stay the way they are Amiga Unix will not be the platform of choice for a serious production system.
