Ultrix on an 11/730?

This depends on what "really UNIX" is. There are many plausible meanings for it, and I see no particular reason to prefer yours over the far more common one, which is difficult to define but amounts to, more or less, "anything philosophically and APIly close to the V7 core". Eric Raymond wrote a piece about the SCO-vs-IBM flap, which is mostly neither here nor there, but it does have a worthwhile discussion of just what "Unix" means. http://www.opensource.org/sco-vs-ibm.html#id2791292 should take you straight to it. In his terms, you seem to want the word to mean some ill-defined cross between a genetic Unix and a trademark Unix. However, that is not how the word is normally used; in the usual sense of the term, {Net,Open,Free}BSD are Unix, as are Linux and a large variety of closed-source operating systems (some of which are genetic and/or trademark Unices as well). In any case, the whole debate is of little value. The remark which started it all off was more a political statement than a practical statement; while I both disagree with his political views on this matter and defend his right to hold them, I see no real point in discussing them further on-list. Thus, I'm shutting up unless someone can actually come up with something new to say on the subject. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse(a)rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
