I have both a I and a IV. Really like the machine. I bought the IV used last year. Got a real good deal on it. I figure that eventually I'll get a superfast 386 or 68020 when the prices become reasonable, but until then, the IV is helps me get my work done. I have an excellent Data General Dasher terminal emulator that allows me to call in from home. The version of Kermit available is also quite slick. (The latest version is 5.0 or either 5.2.) There is a great deal of activity in the LDOS/Misosys SIG on Compuserve. I think that about 500 or so messages are posted about every week. There is also a lot of activity on GEnie. However, neither can beat the price of USENET :-> . I've thought about getting the XLR8er. Just wish it had more than 256K of memory. (They have distant plans of providing a one meg version. That's what I want.) I have heard good things about the board. For anybody looking for a good C compiler, I urge you to look at the offering from Misosys. It is a very solid compiler that produces very compact /CMD files. (A small program can easily produce a 1.50K executable.) They have also implemented most (all?) of the standard UNIX functions (except for ones like fork(),popen(),etc.) I am in the process of writing a command line interpreter/editor using PRO-MC (that's the compiler's name). So far, the executable is plenty fast. So, anybody out there want to join in? Mark Harris
