The above copy of the file is way out of date -- it is from January.
The August version can be found in
ftp.uu.net:usenet/news.answers/pc-unix/software.Z
Also, it is not true that it "discusses all these... in detail." All it
says about Interactive Unix is that it is SVR3 and that the FAQ's author
considers it uninteresting. All it says about Solaris 2.1 is that it is
"just released." All it says about NeXTStep is that it is "scheduled for
beta release in 4th quarter '92."
