Xenix ?

I've never used anything but TRSDOS on the Model II, so I can't speak to the relative usefulness. However, I believe that there were more Xenix implementations on the II/12/16/6000 line than on any other system and by a wide margin. Like I said, it was a popular option and well-supported by Tandy. The 2000 was quirky enough that a lot of software ported to it didn't behave as it was supposed to, and it never sold well enough for the software makers to care much about fixing the problems. Tandy had a hard time convincing software developers to support the 2000, and was rumored to have paid Lotus $250,000 to port 1-2-3. My guess is that Microsoft made less than a whole-hearted effort to port Xenix as cleanly as it could have. --Mike Michael Nadeau Editorial Services 603-893-2379 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Hellige" <jhellige(a)earthlink.net> To: <classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org> Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2001 6:15 PM Subject: Re: Xenix ? series.
