Uh, Mach is a >very< compatible operating system, to judge by the comments
I've heard from those who use it.  Any Unix source pretty much compiles on
Mach unchanged.

Could be the very key to NeXT's success... even without all the bells and 
whistles, almost everything out there that runs on Unix will directly port 
to Mach.
