The University of Waterloo has a C compiler available for VM/SP CMS or MVS
if you have some questions give me a call at (519) 888-4004.

The version of ksh currently available from the AT&T UNIX Toolchest may not
have file name completion, but the latest version of ksh certainly does. It
is in beta test right now and will undoubtedly be re-released through the
toolchest when it is finished.

We no longer run the Harvard Shell, nor do we distribute it or support it.  
Please notify readers of this newsgroup to that effect.  I would recommend 
that those who are interested in command editing, completion etc. investigate
tcsh (I do not have details of availability).  You presumably need a UNIX
source license in order to obtain it.

    I STRONGLY recommend you look into Amdahl's UTS product.  This is
at heart System V ported to run either under VM or native mode. There
are numerous extensions made for such things as 3270 terminaks and
communicating with other guests under VM (we are also running VMS and
it is quite straightforward to shove files back and forth).

    We have been running UTS over a year now and are extremely happy
with it. ``It's the real thing.''

Subject: Xenix tape backup

Does anyone know of a low cost tape backup system for an IBM AT compatible
running SCO Xenix Sys V?  I need something inthe 40 meg backup range as
cheap as possible.  Thanks.
