From Byte Magazine, Nov. 1989, p. 368, "DOS at RISC" (ouch!), by Colin Hunter: "...Hunter Systems has submitted the Analyzer and XDOS to the OSF as an Architecturally Neutral Distribution Format, or ANDF." The interesting article describes XDOS, a system that the article claims generates "true binary ports" of MS-DOS programs to many UNIX platforms. I have no experience with this product. Does anyone else? Dan Mocsny dmocsny@uceng.uc.edu
