I have a few questions about A/UX that have probably been asked millions of times before in this 'group. Persons with a low tolerance for such questions should hit 'n' now! (1) Which Mac's does A/UX run on? Just the IIs or is there some hope for an SE/30? How much disk space does one need? (2) How much like "ordinary" UNIX (eg, BSD or SysV) is AU/X? In other words, how likely is it that a random UNIX application will compile and run under A/UX? If reworking is required, how much? (3) Any general comments (eg, "It's great", "It sucks", "It's great but costs too much") would also be appreciated. REPLY by email, I will summarize to the net if there is any interest.

Why by email? This is probably the lowest-traffic newsgroup on
Usenet, and these are good questions that I would like to see the
answers to!
