Yes, as I've said before, I've personally moved a complex application
of my own in a matter of a few minutes from SunOS to HP-UX.  Ie, in
practice, I've tested SunOS ~= HP-UX ~= UNIX(tm).

But then I'm biased.  I tend to feel that SunOS *is* UNIX even though I
know better.  Mindshare, you see.  B^>
