Remember that AmigaOS was originally derived from Tripos, a UNIX varient - not many people realise how AmigaOS and UNIX are related!


I always found TripOS closer to VMS than UNIX... but then again, I see the comparison.

I loved browsing the TripOS source code, it was a breeze even if in BCPL.

If you'd like to see TripOS, go to http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/users/mr/Tripos.html for Cintpos, a modern version of TripOS by TripOS's original author.
