What is u3g?
"u3g" is the University Unix System V Users Group - a users group
intended for the people at colleges and universities all over the USA
who use Unix System V for instruction and research. There are
currently some 200+ members and more schools are joining every day.
Besides the annual conference, u3g supports the distribution of donated
and other public-domain free software to members through the facilities
of three regional toolchest software repositories. These 'hub' systems
provide a means for registered u3g users to browse through the growing
library of software available, and to request transmission of requested
packages. The hubs also provide a central point for the distribution
of u3g news, information, and bulletins. Also available to registered
users at no charge is the System V Known Problems List.
