This is true, but in computer marketing circles the definition extended far beyond the kernel. See, for example, what AT&T included in System III or for that matter what all came on the BSD tapes. It had nothing to do with "marketting circles", check what came on the LMI CADR, or LAMBDA tapes. Or what came on RSX-10, or even ITS. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
