  And so what about Sun, and most of the other UNIX systems out there?
Are they in violation of AT&T's licensing?  Almost surely.  So why does
DEC worry about it out of all the manufacturers of UNIX boxes.  Because
they've got their heads in the wrong place.

  Again, as it stands now I would not recommend DEC equipment to someone
unless they had special need to run VMS, etc.  It just isn't worth the
price.

  This is annoying.  If you don't want to take responsibility for your
own writing, don't write.
