Date: 22 Apr 1994 17:35:23 -0400 Organization: Physical Sciences, Penn State Univ. Lines: 10 Message-ID: <2p9fur$kin@zenos.physci.psu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: zenos.physci.psu.edu Now that the UCB has stopped working on BSD, bell labs has discontinued work on the 10th edition research UNIX, and Novell has bought USL, who is going to keep UNIX alive? Also, who is going to provide the scientific community with the top technical operating system in the world? Is UNIX just going to fade off into oblivion? (heh, sorry if this sounds morbid...) Anyway, how is UNIX going to keep being advanced if no one but commercial vendors are working on it? Oh well, just some passing thoughts... - Dan C.
