- I wouldn't say it's "merely" a unix system for the Mac; it's a damn
- good one. See the comp.unix.aux FAQ for more details; in addition
- to being posted to comp.unix.aux and news.answers it is available
- by ftp from jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov.

- To answer a couple of quick questions, yes, it needs a fast machine
- with FPU and lots of disk space; so does any other "complete" unix
- implementation. Yes, gcc and other unix standards are available.
