Is there anything that MachTen won do that another machine running BSD UNIX can do?
MachTen is a fully functional BSD system. Tenon has added a few MachTen-specific utilities; e.g.: it can change UNIX text into text recognizable by Macintosh applications and can cope with Apple Single/Double file formats. In addition, a Macintosh-style MachTen Control Panel lets you easily modify networking addresses and other system variables that would ordinarily require editing UNIX configuration files. So, in some sense, it is a friendlier UNIX. But, by and large, there are no surprises. MachTen is exactly what you would expect to find on any Berkeley UNIX system.
