***********************************

 	This is the article that I originally posted regarding
	UNIX based software for an Adage 3000.  We do not have
	a 3000, but have the newer 3010.

	FSS and SOLIDS are two software packages that come with
	the 3010 under VMS, but as I mentioned previously, we
	have run across many problems with VMS system calls  
        embedded in the source for both SOLIDS and FSS.

	Does anyone have the 3010 running under UNIX??  And, if
	so, were SOLIDS and FSS converted over to UNIX, or
	were new drivers written to interface with the microcode?

	My apologies for the rather vague description the first
	time around.....
