Perhaps Dynix was dual-universe -- I get confused about all the old
dual-universe systems there were out there.

I just remember that back when I was porting software to zillions of
commercial unixes that Dynix/PTX was a breath of fresh air in the mess.
The applications I was porting just compiled and worked (well they'd
already been ported to a dozen other SysVr4's)
