...NT is "open". All of the UNIX vendors dumped it... I know. I hear Intergraph ported it to SPARC - then had no use for it... ... it'll turn up again later (once it works properly). [ I hear HP are dumping PA-RISC etc. in favour of Merced - which will be running NT ]. But it's not really a standard that everyone agrees too. Microsoft dictate what it does, and everyone else has to follow (that's a losing game for everyone else). POSIX is an "open standard", to which NT only has minimal complinace. A fully POSIX compliant NT would be a more interesting beast. Kev.
