Parts of BSD may have ended up in UNIX(tm) and older versions of BSD may have been UNIX(tm), but every part of BSD that was UNIX(tm) was removed and rewritten for the free releases. To the best of my knowledge, no *BSD has ever been run through the (expensive) tests for UNIX(tm) certification. In any real sense, as opposed to a legal sense, I don't see why *BSD is any more or less UNIX than Linux. Neither of them have real UNIX code, and both mostly obey the Unix standards. -- David Starner - dstarner98@aasaa.ofe.org Pointless website: http://dvdeug.dhis.org "I don't care if Bill personally has my name and reads my email and laughs at me.
