ADD NEW VERSION OF UNIX SYSTEM
New York -- AT&T last week introduced a new version of the Unix
operating system, called Unix System V.
The new version, which succeeds the earlier Unix System III, was
said to have performance, screen editing, text processing, file
system maintenance and communications improvements compared with
the earlier version.
AT&T said the new version will be available in the first quarter,
at which time pricing, support levels and technical seminar
information will be released.
The company said licensees of the operating system, which runs
on DEC VAX 11/750, 11/780, and PDP-11/70 computers, will receive
several levels of software support, including hotline service,
consultation, techinical seminars, newsletters, electronic mail
to report problems, and periodic releases to correct problems.
AT&T brought out Unix System III last year (EN, Nov. 30, 1981).
System III is the most recent release of the software. There was
no System IV.
