Sure was real AT&T code in A/UX, AIX, Xenix, Ultrix...

Also ran on Perkin-Elmer 73xx machines. Uniplus was from UniSoft
who did a lot of 68k flavored v7, SysIII and SysV ports.

Uniplus SysIII had some Berkeley enhancements in it. Uniplus SysV
also was pulled into Concurrent/Perkin Elmer's MicroXelos.

Idris (also sold by Perkin Elmer) was (like Coherent) a third party
unix-workalike.
