<Stuff about Convergent Heavy Iron SNIPPED>

...
  Convergent Technologies of San Jose California built a
number of Unix
 and other platforms, most of which were OEMed by other companies --
 NCR, Burroughs, Sperry, AT&T are the most prevalent.  A few years
 after Burroughs and Sperry merged into Unisys, they bought Convergent,
 so I'm an ex-Unisys person since I got there a year later.  Anything
 you find running CTOS or CTIX is a Convergent box -- the AT&T Unix PC          
                                                 ^^^^^^^^^^

  ran CTIX, though the name didn't show up on
screen.  Convergent's       ^^^^

OKay, so what happened to the source for CTIX?  Did it vanish? Who 
does it belong to?  WHo do you think I belongs to?  

Just Curious--

  68xxx systems included the Miniframe and the Megaframe
that later
 evolved into the Convergent S-Series and the Unisys 5000 series.
 (When I was there I got stuck on the damned U/6000 series, with
 bloody Intel CPUs and ISA buses).
