Subject:Re: now that the Unix vs. unix is unresolved... From:Donna Williams <r3592z -at- EMAIL -dot- SPS -dot- MOT -dot- COM> Date:Tue, 4 May 1999 10:07:59 -0700
I don't know if this helps, but I'm looking at a book titled, "Learning
the UNIX Operation System" and there is consistent use of the word UNIX
(ALL CAPS) throughout the book. I don't know which convention other
publishers use for their UNIX user reference manuals. If there is some
consistency, maybe it would be a good starting point for a "standard."
