Subject: Re: Masscomp Info From Steve Walls

The information from Steve Walls on Masscomp 3.0 obviously stems from
his lack of knowledge about how the 3.0 system works.  We have 3.0
running here and by the way Steveee our lpr works just fine!  I don't
think you should criticize what you obviously don't understand.  Sure
3.0 still has some bugs in it because the official release won't be
out for another two weeks.  I'm sure when this release comes out
officialy if Steve Walls will sit down and read a few manuals he
might figure out how a UNIX system works.
	Enough of verbal abuse, what other company can boast
co-resident Sys V and 4.2 unix operating systems.  Our experience has
been extensive with masscomps and we have found a lot of problems in
the past too.  But nothing that a little ingenuity didn't take care
of.  3.0 also has a new windowing system that seems to work
excellent.  The system also comes with a Kernel debbuger for
debugging problem device drivers.  Also available with the system is
a C compiler, Fortran compiler and Assembler which generate common
code which is run through the same optimizer.  Any of you who have
written a compiler or assembler realize this is not an easy task.  By
the way the C compiler is a screamer!  Another feature is a full
blown Berkley implementation of an in kernel TCP/IP.

	All around these machines are pretty good little
workstations.  I said WORKSTAIONS not mainframes for those who like
to put 20 users on a workstation class machine.
