- Who reported that? Possibly a Univel marketroid? I've been testing it
- recently, and though I agree that it's obviously aimed at DOS users
- (there's hardly a mention of UNIX in the complete documentation, but
- it does say something to the effect "If you have access to UNIX
- documentation, you can also use the shell interface".
-
- The real problem is the relation up there. I haven't used (MS) Windows
- in a long time, but I can't imagine that it's worse than what UnixWare
- offers. The DOS is DR-DOS 6.0 - is that better or worse than (MS) DOS?
