How about: a Mac (with a ton of memory) running (1) MultiFinder, (2) MS-DOS via SoftPC, (3) Apple II OS via II in a Mac, and (4) UNIX via MacIDRIS! Come to think of it, aren't there MS-DOS emulators which run under UNIX? Just think of it! ;-{) -- H3nry C.

Just think of it! ;-{) Try DOS-Windows for Sun-workstations running SunView. Will run MS-D*S and PC programs with MGA/Hercules/CGA-graphics emulation. You'll have to switch between modes manually though... Enjoy all the pleasures of the Big Bad Blue World :-P -- Stefan Lindmark Email: d88-sli@nada.kth.se Snail-mail: Don't even bother...

If not, any subjective or objective evaluations, comments, flames, etc. would be appreciated. Please email to robert@toaster.sfsu.edu; this is a friend's account.

My initial impressions are not very good, as I was expecting a MUCH better job of integrating UNIX into the Mac. What they have done is literally made an application which is a UNIX shell, complete with it's own file system(s) single/multi-user operation, multitasking and SHARED MEMORY! This is all well and good and I give them credit for doing it, but I think it is the wrong approach (at least for what I would have liked to see). I will post more after I have some time to play with it. -- +--------------------------------------------------+ Leonard Rosenthol | GEnie : MACgician Lazerware, inc. | MacNet: MACgician UUCP: svc@well.UUCP | ALink : D0025
