???  Many of the messages I've seen have NOT been pushing AT&T/Sun:  they're
pushing FSF's GNU.  Wake up out there!  If the Hamilton Group and/or the OSF
really meant what they said, they'd be funding Gnu development.

The OSF is yet another devil, masquerading as Unix's guardian angel.  Hah!
Certainly, AT&T/Sun isn't the answer -- but if you believe DEC/IBM is,
you're one heck of a gullible person.

GNU FOREVER!!!
