[comp.os.coherent] Who buys Coherent?

marz@cbnewsb.cb.att.com (martin.zam) (04/05/91)

Who is buying Coherent and what are they doing with it?  If this isn't
SysV UNIX, what applications can/do run under it?  What's available
off the shelf?

I hate to admit it, but I always wanted to post the first article in a
news group, and this seemed like a good topic to get comp.os.coherent
off and running.

Martin-
	Coherent is bought by people wh don't have the money or space for SysV.
It's roughly equivalent to Sys whatever it was in 1979-1983 era... it only 
costs $99, and it'll run on an AT.  It's apparently a very good package for
getting to know Unix, though I suspect it would leave one wanting to move up
to something more powerful.
