Since the original trademark on UNIX was held by AT&T, then sold to SCO, and then to Open groups, technically, only System V would be considered UNIX. Since BSD split from the AT&T tree, it's pretty close. Since each vendor handles a lot of Unix stuff differently, nothing is 100% Unix. Be it SunOS, IRIX, HP-UX, Linux, etc. They all are dialects of the same language. BTW, I've been doing Unix for 14 years. Tim "I'm not too far off topic" Swenson
