Well, I know that IBM makes AIX (Or AUX, Apple Makes the other.) Oh well, which ever IBM makes is compatible with the x86 platform. You can even get it on some of the Notebooks (PPC and x86). Do you know what type of Unix this is? And how hard would it be to emulate that one. -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.
