Yes, I humbly apologize for ruining your well-thought out and intelligent posting. > Remind me how many other operating systems it can emulate? I'm a bit curious about this emulation, how does it work? OK, I'm familiar with stuff like DOSemu and Wine, I was wondering about the ``emulation'' of other Unices like HP-UX. I remember an old Pyramid we used to have, where you could switch ``worlds'' (or whatever it was called -- universes? Something like that) with some command, is it similar to this? Or is it more of the Digital Unix variant, with what I like to think of as hermaphrodite commands, understanding both ways? As for binary compatibility, does it emulate other hardware architectures? Or is it akin to iBCS? > Followups-To set appropriately. I'm sure that was a typo. I ignored it, anyway. ~kzm -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
