By 1986 (I think revision 19 of the OS) the rough edges must have been hewn off. Lovely command syntax, and a computer services department who turned a blind eye (I suspect, since we weren't that discrete) to us attempting to run bulletin boards outside the accounting system using this here new fangled posix subsystem. The only information about Primes the Computer Services people ever gave me was a lecture about how the guy had implemented key press detection (we take these things so much for granted) in Primos. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
