Novell nuked USL and Univel and combined them in to a new sub unit called UNIX Systems Group, or USG (Eeeeeek! Not AGAIN! I thought we got rid of USG when System III died out. B^) ) I doubt Novell could have disolved USL unless they actually owned it. See one of the recent UNIX(tm) rags for full poop. By the way, in the tee-shirt relm. Will the proceeds from the sales go in to some sort of "Free the 4.4 BSD daemon!" fund? B^). That little bugger is just too damn cute to be kept chained up for long! B^). -Rob
