I was informed that System VI UNIX is on the horizon and will be so "user-friendly" that anyone can install it. Can anyone shed light on this topic? -- Earl Wallace, Perkin-Elmer Data Systems Group - Santa Clara, Calif. UUCP: ..!hplabs!pesnta!earlw

Once there's a System VI, we'll REALLY confuse the people who don't know the difference between Version 6 and System VI. (I understand Versions 6 and 7 are now officially System I.6 and I.7. This sure wasn't the original idea, though. Why not just go to Version 8 and beyond?) Dave Sherman -- {allegra,cornell,floyd,ihnp4,linus,utzoo,uw-beaver,watmath}!utcsrgv!lsuc!dave

But there is a Version 8 that exists internally at Bell Labs and is used by some of the research people.... -- John Quarterman, CS Dept., University of Texas, Austin, Texas {ihnp4,ut-ngp}!ut-sally!jsq, jsq@ut-sally.ARPA (formerly jsq@utexas-780.ARPA)
