The USG does stand for UNIX Support Group, and calling the ATT unix this came
from a comment in sysent.c reserving a system call for usg. This group was
based in Murray Hill NJ and was notorious for not returning calls or giving
out misinformation. When ATT made UNIX a commercial product they formed a
new support group in IL. These are the people who support UNIX System V on
VAX, PDP, and the 3B line.

		I was a member of USG in IL for 2 years.
