<<Just curious, but didn't Multics go on to be reincarnated

No, Unix cannot be by any stretch of the imagination regarded as an
incarnation (and certainly not a reincarnation) of Unix.

Yes, Unix took some ideas (and the inspiration for its name) from Multics,
and was a reaction to what was seen as the excessive complexity of Multics.

Personally, if I could be using Multics today instead of Unix, I would
be a much happier camper (I mostly use OS/2, but cannot avoid spending
some time each day with unix :-)
