Article <179@eliza.edvvie.at> by johnny@edvvie.at (Johann Schweigl) gives much credit to the PC/RT with AIX. I agree on his comments, that AIX is not at all a 'Bad thing from Big Blue', we have also been using AIX here for a long period, mostly doing development. I would however comment on the manuals (again :-). When reading the technical reference (parts (2), till (5) or (6) in SysV manuals) I am always missing information on what is (real) Unix and what is AIX additions. I used to work for a smaller computer manufacurer with a SysV box, and their manuals always had a 'RELATIONSHIP TO SVID' entry just before the BUGS entry. Please IBM, think about those of us who have to produce portable code. It would be much easier if the manual told us what is portable :-) -- Bjorn Engsig, bengsig@oracle.nl, bengsig@oracle.com, mcvax!orcenl!bengsig
