[comp.unix.ultrix] Ultrix versus Ultrix Worksystem

maj@cl.cam.ac.uk (Martyn Johnson) (05/08/90)

Does anybody know whether the somewhat artificial distinction between
"Ultrix" and "Ultrix Worksystem Software" has been eliminated in version
4.0?  I would have thought that the introduction of the VT1000 would make
the current position untenable.

At Usenix, it was claimed that the distinction would probably go away, at
least as far as having different version numbering between the releases,
but an issue was mentioned about font licensing that suggested that there
might still be separate licenses or distributions.
