No No No ...
that was T-nix followed later with U when the
programers could
club meat, build fire and recite most of the Alphabet*.
I guess I'm a total anorak, but there was a TNIX..

I used a TNIX system for most of the 1980s, with an 8540 microprocessor
emulator connected to it.
IIRC TNIX was a stripped-down version of Unix version 7, with most of
the programming tools and compilers and other useful stuff removed,
these could be bought separately. There were Tek-specific commands added
to operate the 8540. On top of that we ran Tek's Pascal development
software for 8086. The first version of the compiler was rather awful;
very limited symbol table capacity and lots of weird bugs. The
consumption of weed and shrooms among the compiler developers must have
been remarkable.
The manuals are on Bitsavers.
I also saw in an old thread here that Tony has an 8560 running TNIX.
Nice machine, but very slow.
