[net.micro.pc] PCUNIX by WENDIN

raymund@sci.UUCP (Raymund Galvin) (12/20/85)

   Does anybody know anything about PCUNIX by WENDIN?  The price is $49 and
   from the description in the ads (Nov and Dec Computer Language) it sounds
   "too good to be true".  I realize this is only a unix look-a-like, NOT 
   unix.  How does this "operating system" affect programs written to run
   under MSDOS?  Is it "true multitasking" and "multiuser" like their ads
   say?  Or are the ads just a bunch of hype about another useless program?

I sent my check in over a month ago but they still haven't deposited it which
means they haven't shipped yet. As soon as it comes in and I've had a chance
to run it, I'll post a review of what compatabilities it has with UNIX(TM).
