This is completely wrong. Digital (or DEC as it was) offers *Ultrix* on the
microvax and all vaxes up to the new 8600. Ultrix is Digital's version
of *4.2BSD*. Mostly the changes re to do with making the diagnostic
messages more Digital-like so the FE's can understand them better.
Ultrix is not yet available on the new VaxStation 1 because they haven't
finished the driver for the graphics stuff. It isn't available on the
8600 yet because they haven't made it use all the bells and whistles
of the monster yet.
Unisoft is a product of Unisoft Corporation and is based on System V.
It is also marketed by UniPress. Digital has absolutely nothing to do
with it.
