'Could've sworn it went Multics-->Unics-->UNIX

Uniplexed information and computer system or something like that.

Someone with a Unix history library handy (I'm at work -- unfortunatly
and won't be home for another 8-10 hours) check Libes "Life with Unix"
and Salus "25 Years of Unix."

(Titles recounted from memory...)

I'll run Win96 on my box when you pry the keyboard from my cold, dead
