"Vax/VMS has a BSD4.x implementation, i.e. a 4.2BSD *lookalike*
running under their propertiary [sic] OS."
Ultrix-32 and Ultrix-32m *are* 4.2BSD, with some additions for ease of instal-
lation and maintainability. Perhaps Jiha is thinking of DECshell, which is an
implementation of the functionality of the Bourne shell and a great many signi-
ficant utilities, capable of running as a VAX/VMS CLI (command language inter-
face directly or underneath DCL. DECshell has no pretension to be 4.2BSD.
But I repeat: Ultrix-32 and Ultrix-32m ARE 4.2BSD.

Perhaps Jiha is thinking of DECshell... I think Jiha meant something along the lines of Eunice(tm), which runs under VMS but looks like Un*x. What say, J.?

You are right. I don't understand how someone can think me claimimg that Ultrix is a Un*x lookalike when I say that "Vax/VMS has a 4.xBSD implementation". Ultrix has nothing to do with VMS, but Eunice and Phoenix do. Thanks for keeping things straight for me. -- Juha Heinanen USL, P.O. Box 44330, Lafayette, LA 70504-433, tel.
