- But...
- I assumed that the original poster didn't have MREAD/MWRITE, or we wouldn't
- have this thread here.
- I am promoting the "CTOS open". There should be PD software in existence
- for a system with over a million users. There certainly is for the
- Convergent/AT&T UNIX PC, with its measely 75,000 users.
-
- I see postings from people who have acquired B20, etc, as the business
- users move up to the faster CTOS hardware. These folks are probably living
- with CTOS 8.x, or its BTOS eqivalent. They are going to have to craft
- their own software, or pay people like you. An hour of your time is
- probably more than they paid for the machine ;-).
-
- Glad to see you back.
- You aren't actually using a **IX machine to post this, are you ?????
