I find that although PCUNIX is a good idea and I concur with just about
everything that's just been said, I have to say that I find it's difficult
to use it in "real life" on my MSDOS system.  Too many existing MSDOS
programs just won't run.  Editors and system linkers are pretty important
pieces of software, and it's hard for me to find anything useful to do
with my system without these.  It _will_ run with Wendin's XTC editor
though.

But Wendin gives you source code, and they are working on the system.  I
say check it out, but don't be surprised if you find it difficult to
do anything useful under this initial version of PCUNIX.
