No -- there isn't any such thing as a cheap form of Unix. What you are probably remembering is the DECUS C system, which is a set of public domain software including a compiler, several libraries, and lots of familiar utilities. This software runs on many DEC operating systems, including RT-11, RSX, RT emulated on RSTS, RT emulated on VMS, others I can't think of offhand. It's available as DECUS 11-SP-18, second (1983) release, for the cost of reproduction. Back before DEC started licensing Ultrix and V7M-11, they had a cheap Unix distribution, but you had to have an expensive Bell license first. carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego * lots of things above are trademarks - PDP, DECUS, RT-11, RSX, RSTS, VMS are trademarks of DEC, which is a trademark of Digital Equipment Corporation.
