Someone, somewhere, recently posted a url where a guy talked about Apple's presentation to some developers which sported a development version of the new MacOS in development. I think that page mentioned their intention to package the system with Lites (4.4BSD on top of Mach) for the interested (e.g. telnet to a Mac). The plans sound good from an "I like it" perspective; I sure hope Apple succeeds, since if they do, the results will almost surely extend Unix's visibility. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.primenet.com/~bkogawa/
