A/UX

   <operating system> (Apple's UniX) {Apple}'s first version of
   {Unix} for {Macintosh} computers.  A/UX merges the {Macintosh
   Finder} ({GUI}) with a Unix core, offering functions from both
   systems.  It will run on some late-model {Motorola 68000}
   Macs, but not on the {Power Macintosh}.

   A/UX is based on {AT&T} Unix {System V}.2.2 with numerous
   extensions from V.3, V.4 and {BSD} 4.2/4.3.  It also provides
   full {POSIX} compliance.

   A/UX 3.x.x incorporates {System 7} for the Macintosh, thus
   supporting the vast majority of Macintosh {applications}.
   System 7 and Unix are fully integrated under A/UX 3.x.x with
   the Unix file system being seen as a disk drive by the Finder.
