Ultrix-32[m] is *derived from* 4.n BSD, not identical. Having recently gone through some of the source, I am impressed with this. So it will never be pos- sible to say that "Ultrix-32 is now 4.3 BSD"; instead, look at future releases on the basis of actual features. As a case in point, Digital has already announced that Ultrix-32[m] V1.2 will be compatible with SYSV except for record-locking, without surrendering the BSD features we know (and love?). Finally: source is definitely available, and I believe Digital has recently even lowered the price, at least for academic buyers.
