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? james seymour camelsho@matt.ksu.ksu.edu

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. -- bill@unixland.uucp The Think_Tank BBS & Public Access Unix ...!uunet!think!unixland!bill ...!{uunet,bloom-beacon,esegue}!world!unixland!bill 508-655-3848 (2400) 508-651-8723 (9600-HST) 508-651-8733 (9600-PEP-V32)
