I am interested in porting a large mainframe package to the PC realm.
For reasons outside of my control, we are restricted to IBM compatible
'386 machines.
     
As an OS, Microport Unix Ver 5.3, using DOS-Merge appears to be an attractive
environment.  Specifically I am interested in replys to the following
questions:
     
   1) Any comments on the quality of the implementation of the Microport
      Unix?
     
   2) How PC DOS compatible is DOS-Merge?
     
   3) Can MS Windows 1.X or greater runs under DOS-Merge?
     
   4) Any comments on Microway's NDP FORTRAN 386 running under Microport's Unix
     
   5) Can I switch between Unix and DOS easily?
     
     
Thanks.  Please reply to me directly.
