pCode was more expensive than CP/-86. It also was tied up in litigation that threatened to require, via court order, that both it, and support for it, be unavailable. In 1983, Mark Williams Coherent was released. (I think that it sold for US$100 from its original release date.) Shortly thereafter both Santa Cruz Operations and AT&T wrote/ported Unix to the PC. By the time Win95 was released, over 200 operating systems were available for the 808x8 line of intel chips. jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
