IBM is redesigning the internals of OS/2 to provide something similar to what Microsoft promoses for NT - subsystems. Theoretically, the new OS/2 will have an ability to plug-and-use subsystems such as POSIX, DOS, etc. I am not sure what IBM will have available as far as UNIX compatible environment, but PCBSD will be migrated to whatever IBM comes up with next. -- --------------------------------- ------------------------------ -- PCBSD Development Manager -- -- Service Commitment Support -- --------------------------------- ------------------------------
