Re: is unix really the answer?

Im not sure I agree.  One of the nice things about UNIX is the
SHELL concept - You can supply UNIX NOW with a system, then
improve the user interface in the future by supplying different
shells.  Theoretically, you can do this for TOPS-20, but I
gather DEC tends to be fussier about supplying source code
for their "EXEC", making it harder for people to develop their
own versions...
