It's the Unix version they used in the Commodore 64. Really. >From what I understand, Unix relies on some support for memory protection, which did not exist on C64 and 8-bit is quite a constraint in other areas of the system architecture as well. The only references I have found for such systems call them "Unix-like". I think this is fair enough and I would not call it a "Unix version". Of course I agree that it is anyway quite an achievement. (Did it support Ada? OK - I had to ask to keep the post on-topic. ;-) ) -- Maciej Sobczak * http://www.msobczak.com * http://www.inspirel.com
