Your right, UNIX DOES need an MMU. I'll call Microsoft and H-P immediately
and tell them to stop selling Xenix and HPUX because they can't possibly
work. Boy are they going to be pissed. Oh well, they should have asked
if they needed an MMU before they went ahead and ported UNIX to hardware
that doesn't contain an MMU.
