I don't remember any signs of it (although I'll admit that I wasn't 
looking --- looking after the Sequents wasn't really my job, just 
something I did when others weren't available). How many dual-universe 
Unixes were there ? I can only remember Pyramid's OSX (?).

Someone else has mentioned that Dynix *was* BSD based, and Dynix/PTX 
was SvR[34] based. Certainly the Dynix/PTX version I worked with was 
SvR3 based, but perhaps later ones were SvR4 based (and quite possibly 
wouldn't work on older h/w).
