A better Eunice?

[Steve Tynor]

[{<(-)>}]

    I have recently been asked to recommend a 'better' Unix emulator
for our VAX 11/780 running VMS.  We currently run Eunice 3.1 (and even
have a Unix license and source), but it is riddled with bugs, has
practically no documentation (except the 4.2 bsd man pages, most of
which don't run under Eunice (grrrr...) and our maintanence contract
expired some time ago.  Before shelling out the bucks for a Eunice
update, my boss would like to know if there's a better system out there.

    I've heard rumor of a Eunice enhancement called 'Pheonix'. Anyone
have any details or comments? How about other approaches? (I've already
tried to talk them into abandoning VMS altogether...:-))

    All comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
