That's interesting, but I'm not sure that it's very interesting. APDA doesn't carry A/UX, saying that they carry only software needed by developers. Curious. MacMall carries V3.01 of A/UX for $609. I guess I just might buy this if that cost were the only consideration, but I see other problems: - I suspect I would need another hard disk; I just don't have multi megabytes of unused space. But disks are cheap now. - I would have to become a Unix SysAdmin. Yucch! Everyone I know who has gone that route complains bitterly about the time it takes. I resent the cost in time more than the cost in money. - Informal word I've heard is that A/UX is a bit flaky. - By no stretch of the imagination can A/UX be considered a commercial success. It's hard to imagine that ACT would regard a GNAT port to it as worth doing. ACT?
