You BSD heretic. /etc/init 0!

More to the point, I'm not talking about a full UNIX in a box under AmigaOS.
I'm talking about a UNIX emulation in a hosted environment. UNIX tasks would
be AmigaOS tasks with extra information attached. The UNIX file system would
be mapped onto the Amiga file system (using the comment field for that extra
UNIX file-system info). A unix.library (or posix.library).
