Remember AIX is *any* *IX that IBM sells/sold. There was also an
AIX/370. There was little to no code sharing between AIX/RT, AIX PS/2
(AIX/370 and AIX PS/2 actually shared alot of code -- but that was on
purpose -- they were designed as complimentary products) and what we
know and love as current AIX on POWER and PPC.
