MACH and XWindows on Mac

[Mark A. Verber]

Mach has been ported to the Macintosh II by CMU.  I don't know what
the immediate distribution plans are, but we should see something in
the next few months.  Unfortunately for many, the standard Mach
distribution from CMU is on 9track tape.  Not very useful for more
MacII people.  Another problem is that a source license will be
required since there is still AT&T material in the code.

One might encourage Apple to think about switch from A/UX to Mach.
[Yes I know it isn't a 'production' OS, but then who believes that
A/UX is a production OS either.]  People might also encourage Mt. Xinu
to add MacIIs to the Mach support list (currently IBM-RTs, Sun-3, and uVaxen).

   There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and
   UNIX.  We don't believe this to be a coincidence.
