Encore *is* a member of UNIX International. They are also a member of
88open. Nevertheless, OSF didn't really like what they saw in the IBM AIX
kernel, so they decided to go with the Mach kernel. And they quickly found
out that Encore has the best Mach-based o/s available and the best parallel
processing technology today (not my words, I have a press release from Encore
in front of me that describes all this), so, even though Encore is a member
of the competing group, they decided to use Encore Mach as the base for the
OSF/1 o/s and Encore Multimax computers as the development platform.

I believe that your local friendly Encore sales rep. can supply you with
further information.
