Chuck Karish <karish@forel.stanford.edu> best sums up the answers to my posting. Organization: Mindcraft, Inc. >Are there any good BSD 4.3 implementations for 386 PCs? Not really. Several people have been working on a vanilla port for a while, but it's not generally available. The closest things available are SunOS for their 386i, and AIX for the PS/2 models 70 and 80, which is a largely SysV-like interface built on a 4.3-derived kernel. AIX has many Berkeley features; it's a reasonably cvomfortable environment for someone who's used to BSD. Only useful of you have IBM iron. >Is the new version of SCO Xenix BSD 4.3? No. >Is the new version of Xenix only System V with Berkeley enhancements? SCO UNIX is a SysVR3.2 port, with XENIX-compatibility enhancements. In particular, it seems to have the brain-dead XENIX csh. The SCO TCP/IP package is still in a state of rapid development (not stable yet) and they haven't released NFS. It has security enhancements. -- Chuck Karish karish@mindcraft.com (415) 493-9000 karish@forel.stanford.edu -- Daniel Pezely <pezely@udel.edu> (Home: 728 Bent Lane, Newark, DE 19711) Computer Science Lab, 102 Smith Hall, U of Del, Newark, DE 19716 302/451-6339
