So what company is supporting/producing/selling System 6? As I have said, I
haven't seen anything for the Apple II around here for quite some time.

I have noticed that. And I was once that way too, until I could no longer find
useful programs for my Apple. Now I run Unix on a PC. Unix because that what I
use at University (and it's actually a very good OS), and a PC because, hey,
they're cheap. I have heard about Unix on a Mac, how about Unix on an Apple
II??
