The most recent issue of UNIX REVIEW has a short paragraph announcing that AT&T and Sun MicroSystems have released a list of hardware and software vendors who have committed to shipping products incorporating the Open Look Graphical Interface. And guess who made the list? Commodore of course So I presume (never 'assume', always 'presume') that this means that CBM will not only have SVR4 for AMIX, but will also use AT&T GUI for their windowed user interface. -- /* ** Don Curtis ...boulder!tcr!dcpc!dc ** CompuServe 76703,4321 ** 76703.4321@compuserve.com ** dcpc!dc@tcr.UUCP */

Could be a bogus presumption at that. The blurb I got from a trade show here says that it comes with X, Open Look, and CBM's own windowing system. It was, of course, a preliminary document, and subject to change. It also mentioned that since each screen (not slidable, but rotatable) was a separate logon, you could have all four UIs running, the last being a straight tty thingy. -larry -- Entomology bugs me. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

On the subject of Commodore Amix, I think that they are going to drop the name 'Amix' and just call it Unix. Apparently, since it is a full implementation of Unix System Vr4 they can do this. Other PC Unix implementations are not full implementations...for example AUX (Apple Unix) for the Mac and AIX (IBM's Unix). I don't know what these Unix implementations lack, but apparently they aren't totally Unix; forgive me, I do not use Unix and have had no exposure to it. Anyway, the dropping of 'Amix' as the name was posted here I believe by someone working on Commodore's Unix. (formerly Amix) If this is all wrong, someone kindly correct me. 1.RAM DISK:> type baird.sig Baird McIntosh (2nd yr CS/Math major, University of Missouri-Columbia) c503719@umcvmb.missouri.edu <-or-> c503719@umcvmb.bitnet "Ok Dad, for *this* amazing trick I'll need an ordinary American Express Card.
