Does anyone have any experience using Tenon's MachTen? Their
information packet makes some *very* impressive claims, and I am
curious as to how well the manage to deliver on them. According to
their information packet, MachTen is a UNIX for any Macintosh, with
the following features:

* Mach 2.5 kernel

* BSD 4.3 Reno
* TCP/IP, UUCP, NFS
* Mac applications multitasking with UNIX applications (MachTen
  replaces MultiFinder & does preemptive multitasking)
* Uses the MacOS File system (no separate partitions)
* 32 bit clean or dirty no problem
* 2MB ram minimun, 4MB recommended for development system
* 20 MB disk minimun
* (priced from about $600 to about $1500 depending on how many users
   or manuals you want, and whether or not you need the development
   stuff).

This seems like a pretty neat package, if it works... I'd like to hear
for some (hopefully satisfied) users before I spend $600.

Thanks in advance,
