   I think you misunderstood.  My claim was that SysV/286 was the
starting point for both products.  The 6300+ product is in fact
packaged much differently, with HoneyDanBer UUCP, and, I think, the
ksh, as well as the SimulTask DOS bridge software.

   I could be wrong about the original claim.  Clearly they both start
with the original AT&T source code, and since the AT&T copyright appears
on the 286 code as well, I believe there is a common ancestor.
