<> A friend of mine is thinking of porting Idris to his companies MC68000 box, its currently delivered with CP/M-68K. Before switching over he would like to hear any comments people have about Idris. His main concern is at which level is it compatible with Unix (Rev 6 ,7 , System III, etc..). Any information would be appreciated. He's not on the net so I will forward replies to him.

Last I word that I heard was that Idris was reverse engineered from v6 UNIX.
