Has anyone had any experience with Everex's ENIX for boxes with Intel
CPUs? I heard that for $299 you get X-Windows, Korn Shell, TCP/IP
software, and the usual Berkeley enhancements plus GNU C and EMACS in
a ready-to-run form. The $299 gets you a two user license. $499
gives you an unlimited license.

It comes with a lot of stuff but not Korn Shell and I don't think GCC or EMACS. Seems to work pretty well. Documentation is below par but they are working on it - just got the X documentation today. In answer to a question that was sent to me: X currently supports EGA and VGA boards only and a serial mouse. The bus mouse driver is done but is not in the distribution yet. And, as for DOS support: it will exist someday (read that as around mid-1989) but they think getting the wrinkles out of UNIX first is more important (I agree). For more info you can contact Kate Webb at 415-683-2686. No, I don't have anything to do with Everex. -- Phil Hughes, SSC, Inc. P.O.
