	    Eunice might not be available, and almost certainly wouldn't work
	anyway (voice of bitter experience).  Your best bet is to pester DEC 
	until they admit that unisoft runs on the microvax.  Unisoft is DEC's 
	edition of 4.1 BSD.

I'm sure Mr. Shapiro knows this and has just had a slip of the tongue (keys?):
UniSoft has nothing to do with DEC!!!

DEC's implementation of 4.2BSD for the VAX family is called ULTRIX-32.
Quoting DEC:
	"The ULTRIX product family consists of the ULTRIX-32 (VAX),
	ULTRIX-11 (PDP-11) and VENIX (Professional 350 and Rainbow)
	operating systems."
from the ULTRIX Software Guidebook, DEC p/n EJ-26153-20, first 
edition, page V.

UniSoft is a company in Berkeley which ports UNIX to the 68000.
Most of the 68000 ports on the market either are UniSoft ports
or were originally. UniSoft's port is called "UniPlus+", a nice
pun if you know the C language.

DEC and ULTRIX (but not ULTRIX-32 nor ULTRIX-11 per se) are 
trademarks of Digital Equipment Corporation. UniSoft and UniPlus+
are trademarks of UniSoft of Berkeley. VENIX is a trademark
(I think) of Venturecom, in Massachusetts. And UNIX, as we
well know, is a trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories.

Just trying to keep the record straight.
