A friend of mine was also told this at an IBM point-of-sale system AIX seminar. Do you know of any documentation on this? I can't find anywhere where Microsoft admits to NT be derived from Unix. When hard drive support was added to PC-DOS, Microsoft incorporated more Unix-like commands (albeit with a renegade \ directory delimiter and a / switch character), but I've never seen anything suggesting NT (ne-OS/2) *was* Unix. If it is, it begs the question: Why is NT less stable and less robust than Unix? --Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
