Coherent OS

This was my first home UN*X, I purchased it to replace MS-DOS. The hard-copy book was well worth the price.

I ported my homegrown utilities from DOS to IN/ix then to Coherent. Later, many of these, these would end up in my github site. Many of my current Utilities had their start on Coherent.

In 1995 the company closed down, so I ended up moving to Slackware. I think the main reason for the closure was a combination of no TCP and Linux. I consider this the first proprietary OS Linux killed off.
