That's not fair.  AT&T has been supporting POSIX and will continue to
support POSIX.  A Public standard is good for all of us.  Particularly
in that it makes other vendors more comfortable in being in the
UNIX System market.  Remember, we're not just fighting for shares
of the UNIX System market, we're trying to make the whole market
*bigger*.
