And then they branched out, using their V6
license to do a number of other
things:
* Eunice for VMS (4BSD environment for VMS)
Minor quible - Eunice was developed by David Kashtan at SRI, but
then maintained and marketed the The Wollongong Group.
(I used it on VMS at UCSB in the early 1980s). Jon
P.S. A non-Unix Interdata memory. At UCSB we used 3 Interdata
machines as terminal switchers. You could connect from a terminal
in certain terminal rooms to any of a number of computers on campus that
had support for the switching protocol. The names of the Interdata
machines were "huey", "duey", and "louie". There was
allegedly a
fourth machine called "kablooey" that was used as a backup.
