Atari supports this standard too since their Unix is SVR4 as well. But it never quite got off the ground (you can buy it but only from Atari directly, and it's still billed as a "developer version"). So yes, you can take Atari Unix binaries and run them on an Amiga. My point was that a free unix for 68k machines has a better chance if it can preserve binary compatibility for applications across different hardware. -- Volker -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitnet: UNM409@DBNRHRZ1 Volker A.
