The fathers of Unix tought us otherwise. Of course, programmers are men, they make errors and often tend to laziness. (``All the world's a Vax.'') That's what makes porting Unix kernels real work. Anyway, Unix is the only operating system where you can watch the porting process. You don't see the porting troubles Clos^H^H^H^HOpenVMS or Winbloze NT has undergone, since their porting efforts happen behind closed doors. You can argue how you want, but you can't deny that Unices are running on the widest variety of hardware, from all currently existing operating systems. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
