Is there a BBS package to run under COHERENT's environment ???
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Ciao

I, too, would like to know this. I had considered getting Coherent, since it is advertised at only $99 (and less I hear, in some places). But I chose not to, since I read *here* that no one had been able to get anything to run under Coherent, and that it was not 100% compat. with other unix stuff. Could I write my own? (I would have to learn C first....) Any comment here or email would be appreciated.

In the right-hand column, at the top, there is a box which talks about their "New Coherent releave 3.1"... now with: - elvis: vi editor clone - SCI (Adaptec AHA154x series and ESDI support) - UUCP Bulletin Board System - RAM disk support So, there you are. If you own a copy of coherent, I presume you can upgrade at minimal cost. --- Steve Pershing, System Administrator : The QUESTOR Project: FREE Usenet News/Internet Mail; Sci, Med, AIDS, more : :===========================================================================: : Internet: sp@questor.wimsey.bc.ca : POST: 1027 Davie Street, Box 486 : : Phones: Voice/FAX: +1 604 682 6659 : Vancouver, British Columbia : : Data/BBS: +1 604 681 0670 : Canada V6E 4L2 :

I am posting this from my home machine, which is running Coherent, Cnews, and Rn. I have had very few problems porting stuff from the comp.sources.* groups. Coherent is UNIX V7 compatible with UNIX V5 extensions. If you are going to have any type of UNIX box for a personal machine, you should be ready to learn UNIX administration, C, and shell programming. The BBS listed in Mark Williams ads is a system where registered Coherent users can download bug fixes, updates, and PD software using UUCP. It is not a BBS under the normal definition.
