As my 386 bought the farm last month, <.> I have been wanting to change to Unix but cannot due to the fact that all of <.> it is for a 386 or better! This _SUCKS_...if not is there anywhere I can get <.> a copy of it? <.> <.> JG <.> There was (is) a 16-bit Unix from Mark Williams. The name was (is) Coherent. I installed it several years ago and it was quite nice for what it was. HOWEVER, you are not going to get a "real" Unix without a 32 bit machine without memory management, supervisor mode, etc. which do not exists on the pre 386 machines (the 286 has these features partially). dayton
