It's not very useful to confuse the two of them. Very true. AIX RT is System V based, AIX PS/2 was built starting from a 4.3-like kernel, and as a result is much more compatible with 4.3 than AIX RT. While porting magic to AIX RT required lots of changes, almost nothing was needed to port it to AIX PS/2. -- Marco Papa USC- ACSC -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Diga and Caligari!" -- Rick Unland -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
