What's the deal with this discussion anyway. It's the same system evolving
over time. In the 3.2 range the name changed from OSF/1 to Digital UNIX. At
some 4.0 it was called Tru64. Back in the old days people complained that
OSF/1 had no "X" in it, then wondered where to get "Analog UNIX" and later
asked if the system wasn't good enough to be "True 64". The name has never
been really good.
