I stumbled upon the UNIX vs CMS discussions by accident (not being
a regular reader of net.cms), but I am also facing an O/S controversy
which will include comparisons of UNIX with VM/CMS and other helpings
of IBM alphabet soup.  So I would definitely appreciate any comments
(since I have not used CMS very much, I could use some help on my
offensive strategy [which is anti-CMS]).  

Speaking as an experienced UNIX/TOPS/MCP/SCOPE user (in that order)
I was shocked at some of the omissions in CMS.  At the Berkeley
Computer Center, MTS was considered, but some requirement to contribute
to an MTS user software pool was felt to be too stringent.  Since
the Berkeley Computer Center was (and still is) a heavy UNIX shop, I
am surprised that they were able to put up CMS.

Also, I have only seen net.cms from article 7. If anyone has the back
issues of net.cms, I would appreciate it very much if they mailed a
copy to me. Thanx.
