Sorry for misinterpreting what you were saying. I understand what you
meant, now.
I won't say any more or provide any specifics, as
I like being on this
list and don't want to get booted for sharing locations for unlicensed
software.
Understood. I like to keep it legal, since I mainly work as a systems
programmer or sysadmin.
Ultimately, it boils down to what your morals are,
when using an
abandoned product from a couple of decades ago for hobbyist and/or
learning usage only.
Well, I teach some AIX classes on occasion and I've got to be very
careful. YMMV and TEHO.
When it comes to A/UX, I'm a little more sanguine since it's completely
defunct at this point. I do want to learn about it sometime since it's
supposed to have a MacOS compat layer which sounds interesting.
AIX - disclaimer - nothing modern going on here
either.
Hehe, careful, you don't want all the AIX fans coming out of the
woodwork
on the attack. [...] I'm not up to date on the Current version of AIX,
but I'm thinking 7.x,
maybe 8.x????
7.2 TL0 is the latest. There is support for Power8 in 7.x.
The stuff I am playing with is 1.x, again, from a
couple of decades ago,
on a hardware platform that IBM abandoned. Nothing more is implied.
Nothing to read between the lines.
Gotcha, again, sorry for the misread.
Unix is a very religious subject. My last intent is
to get on someone's
bad side here.
Tell me about it. I'm just lucky/glad to have avoided the VMS vs Unix wars
in the 90's. Too much drama. :-)
