I recently acquired a Xerox 1108 system. It has Interlisp and about 40 distribution floppies. Unfortunately, the person who sold it to me didn't know much about it. (And now I realize just how ignorant I am...) Anyway, can anyone tell me what software is available for this machine, or where I can get additional software? Alternatively, would anyone like to make me an offer for this bit of history? ($350/bro + shipping) Thanks -Alan Sieving ars@world.std.com 617-647-3800

XEROX had the right idea, but they fell down miserably with that workstation. ...call your Key operator... Paul
