MACSYMA should have a 4.2BSD version this summer. Current prices, for 4.1BSD, are $11K binary, $200K source. They don't have a System V port, because MACSYMA needs a minimum of 6.3 Meg to run, which basically means paging. USG should have a paging system eventually; in the mean time, we have a 'Maxi-UNIX', which is System V running on top of an IBM 370, so there are 8 Meg processes and lots of speed. (Yes, the source really costs $200K. I wanted to port it to System V until I heard the price.) -- Bill Stewart AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel NJ ...!ihnp4!ho95b!wcs
