    Some of the stuff you're saying there is ringing bells. I remember him
    telling me about the Star and the Alto.

    Essentally - what he's done, is bought a load of hardware (I think he's
    got 2 SPARC Classics and an IPX - at least, that's the names *he* used)
    - and he wants to run GlobalView on it... Unfortunately, I'm too new
    to all this to have absobed everything that he told me. I know he
    mentioned one other thing that he had/was going to run - and that he
    implied that it had something to do with GlobalView.

    Unfortunately, he wants to run the same version as he used to use (for
    the authentic experience ;-) ) and in our office, we believe in buying
    the old hardware and getting the original versions - that's half the
    fun of the challenge! I guess we're a bit weird like that. :-) He's
    trying to get it all running as he used to do then, not on up-to-date
    hardware or OSs.

    I'm having a browse though those links - I think I could get into all
    this y'know :-)
