     UNIX is indeed a trademark.  However if enough people use as a generic
term AT&T will lose it as a trademark.  Aspirin is a perfect example.
Suggestion to the world :   Whenever using UNIX don't identify it as a
trademark. I don't.  If everyone does it AT&T is powerless to do anything
about it.
