Hello Net-land!  OK, now that I got that out of the way, here's my
question.  I'm in the market to get a UNIX for my AT compatible.  The two
that I've looked at previously are SCO XENIX (which I actually worked on),
and Microport System V, which I only got to play with a little at COMDEX.  My
question is, does anyone have preferences, and if so, why?  I plan to do C
development work, as well as just plain having fun with UNIX on my AT.

I'd really appreciate any comments that anyone has, and I imagine that I'm
not the only one out there who might have questions of this nature, so why
don't we post the responses to this.

Thanx in advance...
