AT&T has indeed tried RATHER hard to make sure everyone uses `UNIX' in adjective form. Just ask anyone who has extensive dealings with their licensing people...I know of a couple of authors who have been told to clean of their act by the AT&T lawyers, after the books came to their attention. Also, for those of you with Sys V, Release 1 documentation, take a look at all of the change notices...the front of almost every one of the guides contains a sticker with notes like this one: On Page 40 in the second line change UNIX Escape to UNIX System Escape The courts may still hold that AT&T has not tried hard enough to protect `UNIX', but they are certainly trying.
