The Philadelphia Inquirer recently carried an ad recruiting personnel to work with "AMIX", which it described as AT&T UNIX running on an Amiga. Is this for real? -- Bill Hutchison, DP Consultant rutgers!cbmvax!burdvax!ubbpc!wgh Unisys UNIX Portation Center "Unless you are very rich and very eccentric, P.O. Box 500, M.S.

Beta versions of SVR3 (.2 I believe) have been available for several months now. *Rumor* has it that CBM is waiting for the port of SVR4 to be done before releasing the A2500UX to the public at large. -- /* ** Don Curtis ...boulder!tcr!dcpc!dc ** CompuServe 76703,4321 ** 76703.4321@compuserve.com */

Which, the existence of Amix, or the search for personnel? In either case, the answer is yes. System V Release 3.2 has been demonstrated running on the Amiga at several major shows, such as SIGGRAPH last month. And we are looking for a few software people in various areas. I will try to get a job description posted. Although there have been some official statements that Amix will be released as a product, it isn't one at this moment, and there are no release dates yet. -- -=] Ford [=- "The number of Unix installations (In Real Life: Mike Ditto) has grown to 10, with more expected." ditto@amix.commodore.com - The Unix Programmer's Manual, uunet!cbmvax!ditto 2nd Edition, June, 1972. ford@kenobi.cts.com

Oh yes, I forgot to say that that article was the first one ever posted to the net from an Amiga running Unix (as far as I know). Rich Miner at the University of Lowell wanted to be the first, but I got tired of using the VAX to read news. :-) Rich wanted to dig out Fred Fish's first article posted from his MAC II and say "Nyah, Nyah, Amigas can do that too", so here's a friendly "Nyah Nyah" to Fred. :-) -- -=] Ford [=- "The number of Unix installations (In Real Life: Mike Ditto) has grown to 10, with more expected." ditto@amix.commodore.com - The Unix Programmer's Manual, uunet!cbmvax!ditto 2nd Edition, June, 1972. ford@kenobi.cts.com
