Unix Bsd Standalone on a Mac

[Bryan H]

I got a chance to run a few standalones I built today (Monday) on  
some Unix machines and they work fine.  So working on either OS X or  
OS 9.2 with your stacks and attaching Unix engines to build  
standalones for Unix machines is still viable and not a problem  
(other than the usual fonts issues, etc) -- thank you Scott Raney et.  
all!

With all the different flavors of Unix and shells and so on though,  
it can be challenge to know what to expect and how to get things  
working. Does anyone know where there is more documentation still  
around that is specific to the Unix side?

Thank you for responding on Darwin. I didn't have any success getting  
that to work with line commands through a terminal window so probably  
something is up as you suggest. I wonder if I brought up X-Windows  
(X11) on the Max through OS X if I could get the BSD Unix standalone  
to execute with a double click. If I have the opportunity to get that  
up and running sometime I will let you all know if it works. Has  
anyone else brought up X-Windows through OS X on their Mac? I have  
downloaded it from Apple's web site but have never configured for it  
and fired it up.

Again, thanks for the response,
