[comp.lang.c] Coherent operating system

b35@mace.cc.purdue.edu (Vic Ilag) (05/23/91)

     Has anyone heard of the Coherent operating system for the pc?
It's a virtual clone of unix for the pc. It also includes its
own C compiler, debugger, linker, etc. Any comments.
     Thanks.

Don't laugh too soon! Coherent is a strong product and a very viable
replacement for the much outdated MSDOS.

Coherent is a clone of version 7 Unix which, as I understand it, was
the last great Unix release before the phone company started charging
for it.

There's a newsgroup called comp.os.coherent where all this can be
discussed, and everyone has the courtesy of taking serious questions
seriously.

Note the followup line.

There are many netters more than willing to answer questions regarding Coherent
on the comp.os.coherent newsgroup.  Give it a try. :)
