While I would love to see something substantially different than UNIX(R) being introduced, I still think USL could doom any such OS with their "intellectual property" b.s. Apparently, in their eyes, anyone who has *EVER* worked on a UNIX(R) machine in any way is "contaminated" and therefore guilty of stealing ideas that only AT&T could have possiblity thought of because they are the only people in the world that can think (warning: extreme sarcism mode set). Yes, USL is becoming the new Apple or the McCarthy of the 90's. "Have you ever used or do you know of anyone who has used a UNIX(R) system? GUILTY!" Remember: the concept of TRUE and FALSE are propriety USL concepts. -- Kenneth Ng Please reply to kdn5669@hertz.njit.edu for now. "No problem, here's how you build it" -- R. Barclay, ST: TNG
