IBM and UNIVAC UNIX.

Item number 1:

	IBM UNIX:  There is no Unix for the 370 series from IBM
(yet?).  The product is UTS from Amdahl.  It runs under VM so it
is only useful if you are using VM (which you may be using already
to support MVS).  It seemed to be a pretty reasonable implementation
when I tried it a while back.

	UNIVAC UNIX:  This comes from AT&T.  It's called UNIX/1100.
It's a subsystem under OS/1100 (EXEC-8) and it's a bear.

If you would like a UNIX like thing under wierd environments there
is always Software Tools.

-Ron

(As the founders of Unix have stated:  Using TSO is like kicking a
dead whale down the beach).
