There should be some base level of compliance, X/Open? There will be divergence to be competitive but taking code from one platform to the next should be made a whole lot easier than it is now. Hopefully most of the divergence would be with hardware architecture. I do believe hardware architecture, especially for servers, can make a big difference. Look at servers from ALR and Compaq. It's possible for Unix to be a whole lot more ubiquitous, hell even MVS is UNIX95 compliant now. -- Mike Hancock michaelh@cet.co.jp
