Lines: 16 I would like to hear some comments on ULTRIX, DEC's supported version of 4.2BSD, especially from people who have used it themselves. Have you been happy with its performance? How easy is it to reconfigure the binary-only distribution? How are its software support plans? Does DEC keep up with the bugs reported here and at Berkeley? As you might guess, it is next to impossible to get any answers from our salesman, who knows no more now about UNIX from DEC than he did about UNIX from Bell Labs five years ago. Some software manager at DEC called me on the urging of my salesman, but when I asked these "hard questions" (?) he blanched (or the aural equivalent) and promised to get back to me. I haven't heard anything yet, two weeks later. -- /Steve Dyer {decvax,linus,ima,ihnp4}!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca.ARPA
