This is a replay of a note I sent on July 17.  I thought I'd try one more
time, since I didn't get one bite last time!  Thanks in advance to anyone
who will answer...

We're now planning the implementation of a Cyber 830 running NOS/VE.
We have VX/VE, which is CDC's layered implementation of UNIX, but it
only have some features of the Berkley UNIX.  What we want, however, is a
full-fledged Berkley UNIX.  As far as I can tell, there is not a Berkley
version out there to run on a Control Data (NOS/VE).  Is my understanding
correct?

If we can't find one to run on the CDC machine, our second choice would
be to run it on our IBM 4381 (VM).  Again, as I understand it, you can
get UNIX for VM, but not a Berkley version.

I'd appreciate it if you could tell me if I'm right or wrong!  What I'm
hearing from our systems people is that either you buy a VAX or an
AMDAHL if you want Berkley UNIX.

Thanks for any information you can send my way.
