In terms of emulating mpe on ux, our major search is for what we find is the
harder stuff - a callable Sort that does sensible things - reads fixed
length records (NOT stuff terminated by cr/lf), and being able to create
child processes that inherit the complete parent environment, as our current
menu system does.
Not to mention batch jobs........

The Allegro Intrins/ix may be handy, but it seems to have bypassed the hard
stuff.

my .02c worth anyway.
