At least for Governments, UNIX has NOT taken over. POSIX compliant OS's may take over, but as no UNIX to date is POSIX compliant, and 3 non-UNIX OS's are, that does not mean UNIX!!!! POSIX gives any OS which has it more compatablility than UNIX. Now POSIX compliant AmigaDOS sounds like a great posibility! This can be done by a layered aproach (POSIX calls implemented in terms of AmigaDOS calls). Statisticaly, in multi-user systems in government, less than 10% of the computers are using UNIX, hardly "taken over". Gary Dunlap : Wyrd Software : It just works like magic!
