I saw an ad for it in a magazine last week, and it made pretty strong claims about its implemenation of Unix (a comparison was made to SCO's product, for example) I'd like to hear informed opinions about this product, it sounds too good to be true. I don't remember which magazine I saw the ad in.

You can obtain a summary by sending the message send coherent to rjc@math.princeton.edu (Note the address!) There have been 33 requests for information on Coherent in the past 380 days; that comes out to roughly one request per 11 days. Anybody else want to nominate a `Most frequently asked question'? Note also that there will soon be a newsgroup comp.os.coherent. -- Raymond Chen, your (occasionally) friendly FAQ maintainer.
