Hi NetLand,

I've been "volunteered" to give a course here at the University Of Liverpool on
Unix Standards and OSF/Unix International as well as the evolution of
Unix. However, I know nothing about this apart from what I read in the trade
magazines/comics. Can anybody suggest any literature, references or anything
else which can help me?

I'm particularily interested in info about:

	* evolution of OSF & Unix International - why?
	* BSD & system V - why two?? How did ucb come up with BSD?
	* what is the current status of OSF/UI?
	* Who's in OSF/UI?
	* Any other info.....

Mail replies would be appreciated, but anything is welcome.

advTHANXance,

Ian
