Has anyone heard about a Santa Barbara, CA company called Tenon Intersystems, which has announced a UNIX for the mac called MachTen? In Dec, 90. of Workstation News pg.13 it talks about MachTen ruunning as an application on the Mac's native MacOS operating system and including more than 300 UNIX programs and the Mach kernel, which supports a statndard UNix application environment, also standard Mac programs run simultaneously with UNIX programs. Tried to locate info mut but can't find any other sorurces about MachTen. Anyone know anything more about this? Other than the 169$ implentation of Minix on Mac and the AUX of course, (which I think is way over priced), this might be another alternative for Macophiles to run Unix.

MachTen runs as a MacOS application and is due out 1Q91. Its a standard Mach offering: BSD4.3/Mach2.5. It needs 2Mb RAM, will (reportedly) run on the whole Mac family providing you have a 20Mb hard disk. In the US, 2-user licences are $595, unlimited $835, docs $280. I understand that a spokesperson from Apple was asked to comment, but unfortunately the entire worldwide A/UX promotion and marketing dept has left the company. They are both seeking new positions, but unfortunately neither is answering the telephone. And even if they were, what's it to you bud? ------------- David Lau-Kee, employed by, but not representing Canon Research Centre Europe, 17/20 Frederick Sanger Rd, Surrey Research Park, Guildford, Surrey, GU25YD, UK. laukee@canon.co.uk, laukee@canon.uucp, ..!mcsun!ukc!uos-ee!canon!laukee Tel: +44 (0) 483 574325 Fax: +44 (0) 483 574360
