Towards the end of the company, most of our sales were

COFF-binary unix compiler instead of $1200 from SCO, or from new Linux users
who wanted the gigantic and
awesome Coherent manual.
My copy of the manual outlasted the actual installation by at least 10 years.
It somehow got lost during a move.
I used Coherent from 1989 to 1991, when I switched to Linux. Coherent was a
really slick system considering the 64k+64k limitation.

Woo-hoo! Just bought a copy (sealed, apparently)
of Coherent 3.1.0 on
EBay! That made my day...

Nice! I remember reading about Coherent 3.1 when I was first starting
out with Linux. Back in the Linux 0.12 days I really wished I could
afford a commercial UNIX variant, now everything is Linux.
