Lines: 11 [] I might point out that the person who wants to turn the trademark UNIX into a generic term is on verrrry thin ice. There have been numerous cases of companies protecting their trademarks via the courts. To even suggest that people begin using the name as a generic term could get that person hauled into court in very short order. I would suggest that the person retract their suggestion before someone in the Legal Department sees the posting and decides to make a case out of it. You can only lose this one. T. C. Wheeler
