The following is being typed in on my Sun Workstation running 4.2BSD.  It
is offered without comment.....

Today's EE Times has the following story in today's issue:
	National Offers 4.2 Unix on 32-Bit uP by Stan Baker

	Santa Clara, CA - National Semiconductor Corp. is now 
	offering Genix 4.2, its port of the Berkeley 4.2 BSD Unix
	operating system, for the company's 32000 32-bit microprocessor
	line.

	This is the first port of the Berkeley 4.2 version for a 
	microprocessor.  And for the first time, it brings local-area
	networking on Unix to microprocessors.  The system is aimed at
	designers of high-end engineering workstations

	[Several very poorly written paragraphs follow on the 
	difference between 4.2 and System V.]

	The company went to the Berkeley version of Unix originally,
	as it was the only one to offer virtual memory.  But that
	has now become a feature of Unix versions from AT&T and
	Microsoft.  So far, no other microprocessor maker offers
	a Unix implementation with demand-page virtual memory.
