Is anybody using/used Coherent, a Unix-alike from Mark Williams.

Currently its on sale for 286/386 IBM-like PCs for $99. They claim unix like
properties (I guess it is derived from version 7, as I can vaguely remember
it used in the same sentences as Whitesmith's Idris).

It seems like a good way to waste $99, comes with vi, c compiler
and the usual load of the program development utilities including
yacc and lex. But I don't know more than what they say in their ad.

So whats the deal?

E-mail to me and I'll sumarise if there is interest.
