MS-DOS and MS-Windows... Whats so strange about emulating BSD as well :-) And its my understanding that this is IBM's long term vision: have an OS that runs many other OS's as sub-systems, that is on a single IBM workstation, the dream is to run AIX/OSF, OS/2, Apple System 7, DOS, MS-WINDOWS, etc. applications concurrently. -- Todd Meade "Nullum Gratuitum Prandium" Systems Programmer/Analyst Elsag Bailey Inc.
