Just today I attended a half-day A/UX product showing in Stamford (CT) at
which Apple designers on the A/UX and IIfx teams pitched their product and
answered questions.  One of those answers: A/UX is a hybrid of SVR2.2 with
addenda from SVR3.* and from 4.2BSD and from 4.3BSD and from Sun-NFS and 
then some.  That's A/UX 2.0, beta version in use at this showing.  No mention
of how later versions of A/UX may differ once they appear.  Bourne, Korn, and
C shells all included (but no mention of  bash ).

Take this with a large grain of salt -- after all, what do I know?
