Analogy: Amiga and UNIX

[DaveP]

This one seems to pop up quite frequently. A system
is a UNIX if it has been CERTIFIED to be UNIX.

Otherwise it is Unix-like.

Do you mean the APUS team?

There are also the groups that work on getting
distros to work with the A1 - which you know
the names of seeings you were on the uber-secret
A1G3Dev list.

@alx

Thank you! I was trying to remember a couple
of days back what the AmigaOS origins was during
a flamewar and I had to keep out of it because
I just couldn't remember!

Tripos! :-D

@coder
Think we are crossing wires bud :-)

@Downix

Closer to VMS??

***shudder***

I speak after having spent three years programming
on VAX/VMS and then OpenVMS running on a Dec
Alpha both of which required huge command strings to change "directory"(disk really).

Powcon conferencing system was good though.

What a god-awful system that was.  :-o
