Who says UNIX doesn't catch on?

I've seen numerous software which either emulates UNIX or took some ideas
from UNIX:

	Apple II:	Davex
			KIX
	IBM:		MKS Toolkit
			QNX
			Minix
			MSDOS
	Atari ST:	Minix
	CP/M:		CP/M
			ZCPR 3.3

And that's only the systems that emulate or "stole from" UNIX.  Consider
that both Apple and IBM, the two BIGGEST microcomputer makers, both now
carry UNIX for their high-end machines.

Seems to me UNIX has caught on - and has for some time - call it the
quiet revolution :-)
