Has anyone, either as an academic excercise, or as a commercial product ported BSD 4.x to a '386 box? If so, what do we have to do to legally get a binary and/or source-diff? We have a 4.3 source liscense for our Vax-11/750, and would be interested in also running a Berekely port on a '386 PC clone that we just acquired. I know that System V is available from numerous sources, but we'd prefer to run BSD (please no SysV/BSD wars!). -wolfgang Wolfgang Rupprecht ARPA: wolfgang@mgm.mit.edu (IP 18.82.0.114) 326 Commonwealth Ave. UUCP: mit-eddie!mgm.mit.edu!wolfgang Boston, Ma. 02115 TEL: (617) 267-4365

In a few months you'll be able to get a workstation from Sun ("Road Runner") according to a recent PC Week. I can't comment on the educational availability of the source for either machine. -dB "Do you programmers do sh*t like this a lot?"
