I remember reading a Xenix ad for the ST in a back issue of STart
magazine about a year ago, but I haven't seen any advertisments since
then. Xenix would be a good OS for the ST. With a good
implementation, it should provide multitasking, Unix capability,
reliability, etc. I used to work at a Junior College, and we had a
Tandy 6000 (with a 68000) that ran Xenix. I was surprised at how much
I liked it. The implementation of Xenix itself on that system was
enough to turn a Trash-80 into a serious computer.
If anyone knows anything more about this Xenix, then I would
really like to hear more about it. I haven't been able to find that
ad... By the way, what are the major differences between Unix and
Xenix? After working with both OS's quite a bit, I really haven't
seen any big differences.
