[net.followup] Info on Harris Corp. Computers Wanted.

The Harris while seemingly a reasonably priced and performing machine
is wierd.  The architecture is incredibly strange and the 24 bit word
size doesn't help.  Harris does have a C compiler for it but they don't
plan on really doing UNIX for it.  There network plans include NETIX
(NSC Hyperchannel) but not TCP/IP.  Their current operating system VULCAN
looks like something from the sixties.  It is even less usable than EXEC8.

And to prepare a program for execution, you use the VULCANIZE program.  No
kidding..
