Just a quick thought. Has MACH been OK'ed as the choice for the GNU kernel??? I haven't heard anything further on this matter other than the GNUsletter article saying that in "May 1990" the AT&T-free version of MACH would be ready but concerns over world-wide distribution rights remain. Some additional enlightenment would be helpful if any knowledgeable GNUperson has the time (not likely, I know, but as the old saying goes "If you want something done, ask a busy person"). Also, has the Amoeba kernel being developed by the Dutch been considered? I have seen an article about it in the May 1990 (?) issue of IEEE Computer. Although I haven't had the time yet to read the article, I believe it has significant network-wide multiprocessing capabilities. A current version runs in a "Unix mode" as well. Thanks for any enlightenment you can shed. Comments appreciated (even some flames). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Fanta Par Technologies, New Hartford, New York E-mail: !uunet!adiron!richf
