	On top of which USL apparently doesn't exist anymore. Novell
	nuked USL and Univel and combined them in to a new sub unit
	called UNIX Systems Group, or USG (Eeeeeek! Not AGAIN! I thought
	we got rid of USG when System III died out. B^) )

	I doubt Novell could have disolved USL unless they actually owned
	it.

	See one of the recent UNIX(tm) rags for full poop.

	By the way, in the tee-shirt relm. Will the proceeds from the
	sales go in to some sort of "Free the 4.4 BSD daemon!" fund? B^).
	That little bugger is just too damn cute to be kept chained up
	for long! B^).
