"There is no logo for the UNIX trade mark and, other the]an the need for the mark to always be reproduced in capitals, not specific form is prescribed." I am not clear on whether it is legal to use Unix, but it is not the trade marked name, so is probably no more correct than Unix-like. The document never discusses the use of Unix, unix, or anything that is not all caps. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
