No fun at all with Dick & Jane (A/UX 1.1 is hardly perfect...)

A/UX is definitly NOT an experiment! It is a product. Unfortunatly we
must pay AT&T a royalty for each copy we sell, so we cannot simply give
it away... Besides I really don't think the price is that offensive.
After all, look at the price of SCO XENIX after you've put all the
pieces back together to makeup a real UNIX. And the same goes for
other "micro" versions of UNIX look at MicroPort (are they still
around?) and Interactive.
