- Hey, you're the guy with an Apple. Why didn't you post in comp.unix.aux?
- Crapple stuff and cruft is NOT welcome in the Amiga newsgroups.

- Then kindly explain why it DOESN'T work on:
-
- AT&T 3B1 (AT&T UNIX SVR2.* and AT&T UNIX SVR3.*)
- AT&T 3B2 (AT&T UNIX SVR3.*)
- HPUX 7.* (an AT&T UNIX derivative)
- HPUX 8.05 (an AT&T UNIX derivative)
- HPUX 8.07 (an AT&T UNIX derivative)
- HPUX 9.* (at AT&T derivative)
- IRIX 4.0.* (SGI's AT&T UNIX derivative)
- Ultrix (from DEC)
- UTS (Amdahl's AT&T UNIX derivative)
-
- Aw, fergit it, you probably didn't read Matt Dillon's "README" explaining
- the variant of UNIX upon which his DNet will function).
