OSF and Digital Unix were two entirely different beasts.  Some
DECstations were sold with Digital Unix and the promise that they
will be able to run OSF/1, but DEC never managed to release it to the
public.  AFAIK, OSF/1 was only available for two architectures (the
Intel Paragon was one of them, the other DEC Alpha), and it never
resulted in the unified Unix the industry was looking for.  The local
university is still upset about this. :-/
