.sh "SOFTWARE SUPPORT" There has been increasing demand for 4BSD at commercial installations in a form less expensive and more digestible than a source license from Western Electric and an unsupported distribution from Berkeley. A number of companies, licensed by Western Electric to sell and support UNIX in binary form, are now distributing 4BSD. Some of these companies support 4BSD as an enhancement for their hardware offerings others deal only in software. Licenses from these vendors normally cost much less than a UNIX source code license. These companies usually try to make 4BSD more palatable to the non-academic community by providing more first-time user documentation and specialized consulting addressing specific customer applications. More formal software support arrangements than those offered by U. C. Berkeley are also available. 4BSD software sales and support vendors are included in the list at the end of this paper. .ds LH Packages .\" Local Section Header .de sh .ne 8 .sp 2 .LP .B .LG .ce 1 \\$1 .R .NL .LP .sp .. .bp
