I know that.  The smileys, which you deleted when you quoted me, were intended
to denote sarcasm.  The reference to Berkeley was a dig at the common BSD
assumption that "all the world's a VAX".  I didn't think I'd have to explain.

I presume that when the original poster said "VAX" (in contrast to UNIX), he
really meant "VMS".
