Just another comment from a developer/manager of The UNIX Time-Sharing System for Sperry 1100 Series Computers (its official name). Scott Orshan's comments are correct. That 'bear' is three years old; the more current systems are internal only. That 'bear' and its successor systems have been responsible for the development of a very large (>1 million lines of C code) software system for the Bell Operating Companies. That system was developed on time, on schedule, within budget, etc., lacking all the traditional problems of large software systems. Joseph A.
