Still, seems like EXT2FS is too much like re-inventing the wheel. Let's re-invent the cars, but not the wheels... :-) >Please. I've seen you write rational articles.

Anyway, I still find it hard to believe that WP5.1 and Corel Draw for SCO run better than WP and CorelDraw on Windows. Emulation is fine, but they're not even recent versions! Of course, I wouldn't want to boot into DOS/Windows to run them, especially if I had them under Unix.. Still, if that's *all* you want to run. :-) -Andrew Who used to run Linux back when it was at v0.9 and didn't even have a login, init just plopped you in as root. I "stuck with it" until about v0.14(or did it jump to v0.9x?) then I jumped ship to 386BSD 0.0 as I much prefer BSD to SYSVish. And speaking of POSIX, Windows NT has posix.. :-) -- ========================================================== Andrew Gillham gillham@andrews.edu LAN/WAN/Netware/Unix Analyst gillham@whirlpool.com ==========================================================
