In Amazing Computing, Vol 3. Num 4., there is an ad for AMIX from Lamplighter Software. According to the ad, AMIX is: * Unix System V compatible * A multi-user, multi-tasking Unix workalike * Compatible with Amiga-DOS file structure * Access Amiga-DOS special functions such as sound and graphics * Priced less than Unix System V. I called them up and according to the woman on the phone, it is two weeks from shipping, will cost $395, and will allow Amiga applications to run under AMIX. They are sending me more information. Does anyone else have any information on this? It sounds like an interesting alternative. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In Real Life: Michael Nowak "Seek truth from facts."

Couple weeks ago, we (a college bookstore of San Jose State) had a meeting
with Commodore about the possibility of carrying Amigas. The Commodore Sales
Manager of the Western States stated that the beta version of Amiga Unix is
out! She also mention Virginia Junior Polytech, a respectable poly college,
require all Comp.Sci. students purchase an miga 3000 with Unix in Fall 1990,
instead of a Mac II('s). Also, the shipment to the Treasury Department also
consists of Amiga Unix (beta). Therefore, the Unix for Amiga is actually out
unofficially.
Remember, it is from the words of a Sales Manager of CBM only!
