Thanks for that!
I only ever worked with AIX in my first job -- 1988-1990. Never saw it
again. I wish I'd learned a bit more now...

AIX 3.2.5
was so much leaner and meaner than 4.x that came along next...
I never did warm up to it the same way.
Twas ever thus, no? I remember an ad campaign for AIX when it was
quite new... "We took
UNIX and added millions of lines of code to it." (Or words to that
effect.) To me and to a lot of other people, this did not sound like a
good thing...
The ad campaign I remember was "A disciplined merge of System V and BSD"
This looks relevant, from 1989:
