Oops!  I forgot that one, but I was still right about DEC not selling
an OS called "UNIX."  If you will check, the System V for VAXen is
called "Holmdel 32V" or something like that.  The PDP-11 version of
Unix that DEC sells is called V7M11.  Only AT&T gets to call Unix
"Unix."  The system I am typing this on right now is called "Microport
System V/AT."  No "Unix" in the name anywhere!
