The UNIX is run by the business school and is otherwise known as the "C F & O 'B' Machine", to which you can mail to as b:username. Somebody else here at Berkeley is bound to submit more info here. The 'B' machine uses DEC BASIC-PLUS, which is similar to Microsoft. If you get any complaints about running DEC BASIC-PLUS on a VAX-11/780, tell them that I WORK on a system with DEC BASIC-PLUS (even though RIX is using VAX/VMS). Avior. Philip L. Wing U.C. at Berkeley
