Hi, Dave. On the _machine_ itself, DEC wrote "pdp11"... An acronym doesn't have to be upper-case! Many Unix commands are lower case acronyms: cd = (c)ange (d)irectory pwd (p)rint (w)orking (directory) ls = (l)ist file(s) I guess that my introduction to Seventh Edition Unix running on a "pdp11/34" made me think it was obviously designed to run Unix ;-) Bye, Tony. -- Minke Informatics Limited, Registered in Scotland - Company No. SC419028 Registered Office: 3 Donview, Bridge of Alford, AB33 8QJ, Scotland (UK) tel. +44(0)19755 63548 http://minke-informatics.co.uk mob. +44(0)7985 078324 mailto:tony.travis@minke-informatics.co.uk
