Greg,

I've never used UnixWare, but if it is essentially SVR4.2 with some 
additions and comes with a development system, I'm happy to give it a 
try. Do you remember if it was on floppy or tape?

Thanks very much for offering.

Feel free to contact me off list to work out the details.

Cheers,
Tom

Hi Tom,

I'll have to check this week, but I believe I have a set for UnixWare 
1.1
from Novell. If you are not familiar with it, it is basically System V
Version 4.2 with an IPX protocol added IIRC. Let me know if this will 
work
for you.

Hmmm....wasn't UnixWare on CD? We had fun with them, and called it Novix. I think they
they used
the name Univel at some point, didn't they? After first acquiring USL?

I THINK I have a UnixWare 1.1 CD, but don't think I have a boot disk any more, and
I'm not entirely sure if
the CD itself is bootable, as this goes back to around 1995, doesn't it?

Tony
