PC Week defines itself as the weekly newspaper of IBM standard
microcomputing. My personal guess is that they won't give UNIX a
great deal of press until IBM PC users show substantial interest in
UNIX.

Until now. On the AT&T PC 6300 Plus, UNIX has a feature called
"Simul-Task" that lets you run not just DOS executables, but DOS
itself. UNIX SVR2 runs in protected mode; MS-DOS 3.1 runs in real
mode under the control of UNIX.
