Nope. It's SVR2, plus berkeley enhancements. The enhancements
include almost anything you'd want. I've ported a wide variety
of programs specifically designed to BSD and had no problems.

There are now two X products available from Apple. MacX a MacOS
version that also runs under A/UX and a "native" X port which only
runs under A/UX. MacX uses the Macintosh window manager for X
windows or can display a "normal" X desktop in a Mac window.
