[Info-vax] Looking into C-include files on VMS

[Paul Raulerson]

Okay, I see what you are saying. 

On the other paw, in 1976, there just were not that many computers to begin with. A fair number of those computers,
in particular PDP-11's, were running UNIX.  Certainly a lot of the other computers of the day were running UNIX. 

This was the year that the first Apple computer came out, and a year before the Tandy/RS Model 1 came out. There were probably as many UNIX based computers running as there were Mainframes.  MVS was just introduced in 1974. 

Also, in 1977, BSD was introduced, which really caused UNIX to take off of course. To this day, I favor the BSD implementations of things. System V seems needlessly complicated and difficult to configure.  I still have an AT&T 3B2 though. Still runs even. :)
