I know that isn't true because when talking to the technicians at
Bell about running their intelligent controller card under
386 Microport, they hadn't gotten Microport's code yet (This was
after they were shipping their version of 386 UNIX). Microport
is shipping their software with the Greenhill C compiler, Bell isn't.
Microport is shipping the Beta release of their 386 DosMerge, Bell isn't.
In fact, Susan Ong of Bell said that the reason they don't have DosMerge
yet is because they are waiting for Locus to do the port to Interactive
System's 386 Unix and then use that.
