Yep, that was it -- Microport System V/AT -- it was called. I ran it on a 286 system back in the late 80s...still have the original diskettes and books. I *strongly* advise against trying to run it though. Not only is it obsolete and (shudder) System VR2, it is riddled with bugs. It gave me lots of practice at fixing inodes and directories :-( -- Bob Willcox bob@luke.pmr.com (or obiwan%bob@uunet.uu.net) Austin, TX
