Ultrix-32 and Ultrix-32m *are* 4.2BSD, with some additions for ease of instal-
lation and maintainability.  Perhaps Jiha is thinking of DECshell, which is an
implementation of the functionality of the Bourne shell and a great many signi-
ficant utilities, capable of running as a VAX/VMS CLI (command language inter-
face directly or underneath DCL.  DECshell has no pretension to be 4.2BSD.

But I repeat: Ultrix-32 and Ultrix-32m ARE 4.2BSD.
