Amiga Unix. Sometimes Amix or just Unix but never anything resembling
`Comix'. :-)

2.0 has a package routine that breaks Unix up into bite size
pieces. The core distributions is somewhere around 30 meg.
Aren't CD-ROMS somewhere around the price of a cartridge tape?
QIC-60 is also the ABI choice.
CD-ROMS are useful, though, and we will probably support them in a
future release.
Pax, Keith
