[ "Nicaragua" is Spanish for "Vietnam." --Bob Page ]
I had just gotten Matt's dnet up and working between the 1000 and the 2000,
when my 1080 monitor went ftzzzzt ... no horizontal sweep, so I haven't
used it too much yet. What I saw of it I liked though, so I imagine some
of you are bussily working on client/server pairs.
The question's in the subject line: who's doing what? No sense in everyone
working on the same thing, so drop me a line, or post a short description, and
I'll summarize in a week or so.
Now the bigger question (for me) ... is *anyone* doing a SysV port of Matt's
code. I'm not much on getting such ports to work, so I hope someone else is
doing this (unfortunately, we don't have a BSD system).

From the A2500/A3000 posting, looks like CBM has decided to go with SVR3 (I
guess that's what "Unix 5.3" is supposed to mean). Too bad. I wonder how
they will deal with the damnable 14-character filename limit? Grrrrr ...

And of course it will be superior to A/UX in that AmigaDos applications will run underneath it. It will also provide access to an intuition-like library so your Unix programs can have nice graphic interfaces. And it will have NFS, and X-windows R11, and it will have online documentation. And there will be a great hypertext program bundled with it. And it will have these things at less cost than a MacII so that people will buy it rather than a MacII. Of course.
