| Good point, actually.  Just hearing about it makes me want to shudder.  It

No, I missed that one, though it's my #2 favorite of the British
Comedies - my favorite being As Time Goes By, which sorta reminds
me of me and Nada, and Judy Dench is one of my favorite actresses
(and Jeffrey Palmer is a perfect foil for her).

No, I'm getting to quite like it.  Its filesystem is so much
faster.  Executing 'find / -name foo' finishes so much quicker
than on OSR 5 in spite of the much larger number of directories
and files.  Also, /bin and /usr/bin are identical and the latest
KornShell (ksh93) is available.

I think after MP2 is released later this year it may well be
ready for prime time.

PS - I think Ron Kratch put up on this list the URL of the doc 
     I referred to earlier in this post.
