Hi, I am thinking about buying Coherent from MarkWilliams for my AT286. Are there any ports of free software to the Coherent operation system on the IBM PC ? First of all I would be interested in something [ck]sh - like since sh is okay for scripts but not for interactive use. In case there are ports could you please mail to me where to ftp them. Thanx in advance, MARKUS P.S.: Is there special newgroup for Coherent stuff ? -- MARKUS E. LAUTENBACHER, Technical University Munich, | phone: 0049/89/3209-2398 Physics Dept.-Theo.

Pardon my posting a simple referral, but the mailer doesn't recognize the domain "ss7" -- Markus Lautenbacher had asked if there were a newsgroup for the Coherent operating system, a clone (small) of Unix. There's a brand-new newsgroup called comp.os.coherent that covers the Coherent OS. Right nw they are debating establishing a new binaries group (comp.os.coherent.binaries or whatever) but for the moment I think they will just post binaries there, while source can be gotten from there or from comp.os.minix (Minix is another small Unix clone). Moreover, there are source and binaries, I believe, available from piggy.ucsb.edu by anonymous ftp. I'm not a Coherent user, but I've followed the newsgroup with interest. Have fun with it!
