[net.micro.pc] PCUNIX from Wendin?

ogasawar@noscvax.UUCP (Todd H. Ogasawara) (09/05/85)

Has anyone tried PCUNIX from Wendin?  It is $49.00 and the ad in
Computer Languages claims a great deal.  Would like more info.
If you haven't seen the ad, take a look at the 9/85 Computer
Languages, page 6...todd

I was told at the Wendin booth of the 3rd annual PC Faire that this 
product won't be available until November.  I asked about the brochure
they were handing out, which says "we ship orders within 3 days", and
the guy in the booth got a good laugh out of that.

The brochure is very interesting.  A subset of unix with the following
commands, plus multiple concurrent processes, for under $50:
at	cat	cd	cp	date	diff	echo	file	find
grep	kill	lpr	ls	mail	mkdir	my	nice	nohup
od	passwd	pr	ps	pwd	rm	rmdir	tail	tee
time	wc	who
