Trademark solution - finally an acronym

[Ted Nolan]

<bug line  (TM)>

If we (in theory) can't use "UNIX" as a noun, how about "UOS" as an 
acronym for "Unix Operating System."  People have been wanting
"Unix"  to stand for something for years, finally we have a motive
to meet this need :-) .

Seriously, UOS has the advantage of being short and not breaking too many
things.  (ie uucp - UOS to UOS copy program, cu - call UOS etc).  I'm sure
AT&T's lawyers aren't going to hassle the net, but people doing high visibility
things (writing books on Unix etc) might need an out soon.

			Just a thought

PS : Unix is a trademark of AT&T Bell Labs  (almost forgot!)
