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? - Ray Galvin

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).
