I am almost sure they are not the same thing.
I do
not think so.. The FLEX we are talking of is a unix-like system
written in the late 70's and early 80's for 6809 based systems.
I've only used (6809) flex briefly, on an Acorn System of all things, but I
don't remember it as being very unix-like. I remember it as being
single-tasking with no I/O ridirection, pipes, or anything like that.
OS-9 was much more like '6809 unix' (to the user, internally it's very
different!)
