- Coherent comes with C compiler, assmbler linker, librian, lex and yacc.
- The MWC compiler has all features of ANSI C, but no prototyping.
- However, with 4.0 and enough memory you may run gcc and gcc++.

- : 2. Can it be networked? i.e. can I pick up and read (then post) usenet
- : with Coherent?
-
- This posting is done with Coherent and the newsreader tin. TCP/IP isn't
- available for Coherent yet.
-
- : 3. If in the future I have the hardware for X-windows, will Coherent
- : do it?
-
- Coherent comes without X, and X isn't ported to Coherent yet. But now
- with 4.0 it's possible to get X up and running. I think it's only a
- question of time.
