I can see how not having NIS could be a problem and I do not intend to
question that but I would like to comment on ptx in general. I was
(am) part of a team at the Computer Science department here at Western
who have been Beta testing ptx. We also have a Sequent running Dynix
so I do have something to compare ptx with. 

In my opinion, ptx is a vast improvement over Dynix. As a user and a C
programmer I find ptx a very nice platform, indeed I do most of my
work on that machine, but when I try to port a program to Dynix I
invariably had to make many changes and in some cases just give up.
Ports from ptx to Sun 4.0x seem to go fairly easily, usually just
different include files.

There is certainly still some problems with ptx, it is afterall still
a new product, but I feel sure that ptx will prove to be a very solid OS.

Just for the record, I do not now, nor have I ever worked for Sequent,
so I do not speak for them. Nor do I speak for the Computer Science
department here or anywhere else for that matter. I just happen to
like ptx (least ways I sure have liked playing with it for the last year!)
