Dan, perhaps you used a bad choice of words (i.e. licensed from Berkley), or you are mistaken. When I worked for DEC they came out with a product called Ultrix and that was their version of Unix. They (DEC not Berkley) license that product. I am not a Unix person (VMS is my OS of choice), but I did work with and know some of the Ultrix people and according to them Ultrix is Unix and more. Now, how close that is to BSD 4.3 I don't really know without asking them (which I could do). I know I'm making a moot point but, I just don't want anyone to get confused. Ran The thoughts and ideas presented here are mine, who else would take credit for this obsurdity anyhow?
