Anyone interested in creating a VMS/UNIX hybrid? xVMUNIS? UNIX, while extremely flexible, and a great time-saver, can be boring. VMS, while full of great features, lacks the speed and hackability (=ease of use) of UNIX. Just think, we could be writing CGI scripts in DCshL, and editing them in TECOMACS. But wait, that's not all! We could run all this on 11/730s as well as 3090s, Peecees and old Sun workstations! For the PDP-11s, we could have xRSUNI-11. Just think, batch queuesm decent print spooling and useful job control combined with short command names, lower case (or upper case if one logs in using upper case and uses '\' characters while typing), piping, easy to use redirection, etc. Wow!!! -- Copyright (C) 2000 R.
