I believe you have to be a registered Apple developer to get it at this
point because it's pre-release at this point.

Yes, but OpenStep 4.2 is supposed to actually ship shortly in
its commercial form.

I'm considering purchasing OpenStep/Mach 4.2. As a Mac developer, I'd
like to give OpenStep development a try. However, I have been told
that its Unix layer is not "standard" or "modern", meaning mostly that
it is not Posix-compliant and that I would have trouble compiling
off-the-shelf "Unix" sources. Is this true? Any comments?

Thanks!

I'm not sure who told you that...

I've got many off-the-shelf UNIX sources compiled and running
on my machine...

stuff like INN, Sendmail, PGP, PERL, NCFTP, etc...

The latest of PGP and NCFTP dont compile off the shelf just by running a
configure script and make, especially not on the OpenStep OS. I am not
saying that it is impossible to compile them but most unix programms
DO NOT compile that easy. NCFTP for instance needs a curses library
update because the ones installed are outdated and if i remeber right i
was unable to compile it under OS4.1. The same holds true for PGP, it also
has to be modified in order to compile.
