Recently I sent a letter to the net I had received from Skip Tavakkolian.
It described various features and characteristics of IDRIS. One most inter-
esting feature was the emulation of an MMU.
I added a few questions, which I'd like to repeat and perhaps make them more
concrete, because I haven't got any response.

>- An emulated MMU seems a good idea if there is no hardware. But doesn't that
>make the OS very slow?
I'd greatly appreciate to see any benchmarks. In particular I'd be interested
in "standards" like dhrystone/whetstone. If someone has run these on the ST
under IDRIS and/or OS-9 *PLEASE* write the results either to the net or directly

to me.

>- Any experience with porting UNIX software?
Has anyone done a *really* tough thing under IDRIS or OS-9 (like compiling GNU
Emacs or UNIX Emacs, these being an example only - experience with any other
interesting software is welcome)?  I'd love to know.

>Does anybody know whether IDRIS is available in Germany?
I still don't.

Thanks in advance
