Xenix is not "Unix-inspired."  It is Unix.

	I think there's a basic cultural difference between H/W and S/W
engineering.  Or, as it was once put in an exchange between a programmer
and a logic designer at one company:

	"The problem with engineers is that they can't write."
	"Well, the problem with programmers is that they can't
	read schematics."

	In any case, I can't remember an engineer who could type (and
had opinions about keyboard layouts) who wasn't also at least a fair
programmer.  You have to have gotten beyond hunt-and-peck to care.
