"AMIGA UNIX is easy to use and structured for future growth," said Geoff Stilley, vice president sales, Commodore. "Version 2.1 can be installed on the same hard disk in different partitions as both AmigaDOS (TM) and MS-DOS (TM) for more extended functionality." Version 2.1 provides several user interface shells, including Bourne Shell, C Shell, Korn Shell, Restricted Shell, Remote Shell and Job Control Shell. Also, it features a simple-to-use e-mail system, plus emacs and vi, two screen-based text and program editors. Multiple virtual screens are available in addition to multiple windows, so each of several users can have a screen on the same machine, or a user can have separate virtual screens for different uses. "With Version 2.1, AMIGA users now have significantly increased performance," Stilley said. "It is a full implementation of UNIX SVR4 and includes additional useful features at a very competitive market price." The Version 2.1 bundle includes manuals and documentation, a magnetic tape containing the operating system and other utilities, and boot disks for loading and installing Version 2.1. A two user license can be purchased as of February 12, 1992 for $995, and an unlimited user license costs $1195. — —- More information is available through Authorized Commodore Dealers. [continued]
