[net.general] DEC support for UNIX

mcbryan (11/20/82)

A large corporation that I consult for recently was told by their
DEC representatives that DEC would fully support and maintain 
Berkeley 4.2 UNIX(TM) for them.   They were told this last week while 
DEC were visiting their site.   They were also told "If you have to
run UNIX, make sure its BSD 4.2"

If it's true that DEC is going to 'support' UN*X it makes sense that they
would choose 4.2bsd.  Since 4.2bsd is not so portable as system III it's
not likely that it will find itself running on mini's and mainframes not
manufactured by DEC.
