[net.unix-wizards] Emulating UNIX over VMS

rlb@Purdue (03/29/83)

From:  Bob Brown <rlb@Purdue>

I'd like to hear from someone who has real experience with both stock
BSD-like UNIX and Eunice (or one of its competitors).  I've heard
both good and horrible about UNIX emulators but haven't heard opinions
from experts that have made the transition themselves.

If you've used both and can provide me with a compare/contrast style
report, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd like to hear about functional
differences (can do's and can't do's), interface differences,
performance differences (if possible), and portability issues (can
I run my BSD programs on Eunice).

I'm not on this list anymore (too much mail every single day) so
repond directly (via arpa or uucp or csnet).  Short and long opinions
alike are welcomed.

Thanks in advance,

Bob Brown (rlb)
