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".
