"It is not an OS"
In 1987/88 when I was working for DEC I had a stack of Ultrix manuals on my desk. I have a distinct memory from that time of reading Dennis Ritchie's opening statement in Volume 1:
"Unix is not an operating system. It is an I/O multiplexer"
Now it was a long time ago, maybe my memory is faulty, so I wonder if others can recall this from the original AT&T documentation set.
