[comp.os.coherent] TELIX--Will it run under Coherent

camelsho@matt.ksu.ksu.edu ( James Seymour ) (04/28/91)

I've been debating for some time wether or not to buy
Coherent.   I have been told that stuff like Borland's
Turbo prodects are best left to DOS.

Does the same apply to TELIX? (TELIX is a modem program
that is quite good.)  Anybody have an answer for this one?

It's not that DOS products are 'best left to dos'.  It's that they MUST
be left to DOS -- they won't run under Coherent.

There are some "DOS under Unix" programs available -- but they won't
run on Coherent.  I personally don't think they're that great anyway.
