Wrong!  DEC has several operating systems for the VAX, and NONE of
them are named "UNIX."  They have Ultrix, which is a DEC-bastardized
port of 4.2BSD, which is sort of Unix.  (My System V bigotry showing
through again, I see.)  They also have a real-time system called
VAXELN (I think), and then there is good ol' RSX-11, which runs as a
guest on VAXen with the PDP-11 compatibility mode.

To sum up, COULD WE PLEASE GET RID OF THIS USELESS DISCUSSION ON
COMP.SYS.ATARI.ST?  Until VMS or one of the others runs on the ST, it
really doesn't belong here!
