Unfortunately there are two UNIX products called VENIX out and I
got mixed up as to which is whose.  VenturCom's as stated is their
trademark for their UNIX system.  Another company had announced a
product called VENIX (I am pretty sure of this) on a postcard
with little hearts on it.  It was supposed to be a CP/M implementation
under UNIX.  Since I had no use for such a tool, I through the
card away.  I assume they got my name from the USENIX association
mailing list, but maybe not.  Perhaps you should ask UNIX-WIZARDS
if anyone who gets the UNIX junk mail that I do actually bothers
to keep any of it.

Just to make things worse DEC's "something like UNIX only different"
under VMS is called VNX (also pronounced for those who insist on
pronouncing things like this, as venix).
