Only because the marketing folk have used words and phrases like "RISC" and
"open system" with such reckless abandon have they ceased to be meaningful.
Today, "open system" really means "open your wallet to buy my system".

Indeed, from the reg exp the original poster constructed I deduced he

Summary: yikes...
Organization: Grot Shops, Ltd.

NEW YORK (AP)

Novell Inc., the largest maker of software that links personal computers in
networks, announced Monday it would buy a software company controlled by AT&T
for about $350 million in stock.

The AT&T operation, Unix System Laboratories, designs and promotes Unix
software, a so-called operating system that is seen by many as a standard for
the computer industry.

An operating system is the base layer of software. It works with applications
programs, which provide specific uses such as word processing or spreadsheets.

Unix was invented by AT&T in the 1960s. Originally, it was favored chiefly by
university scientists, but increasingly it has been applied to commercial
computing tasks.

But there are a number of variations of Unix, and not all applications programs
designed for one variation can work on a computer that has another. AT&T has
been trying to get the industry to standardize on the version it created.

Novell, based in Provo, Utah, also has been trying to promote wider use of
Unix. It earlier formed a joint venture with Unix System Labs called Univel to
increase sales of Unix to personal computer users by using Novell's mass-market
channels.

Under the deal announced Monday, existing shares of Unix System Labs would be
exchanged for up to 12.3 million newly issued shares of Novell common stock.
The merger is expected to be tax free.

AT&T owns 77 percent of Unix System Labs. Novell owns 5 percent, and 11 other
computer-industry companies own 18 percent. Under the deal, all the
shareholders would exchange their stock for Novell stock.

The deal has been approved by the boards of Novell and AT&T, but it has not
been approved by the other Unix System Labs owners, which include Motorola
Inc., Sun Microsystems Inc. and Toshiba Corp.

Robert M. Kavner, AT&T's top computer executive, said it has been the phone
company's intent since 1991 to reduce its ownership in Unix System Labs, but
that AT&T remains committed to the software.

"Associating USL with Novell, another strong company, will allow USL to be an
even more effective and flourishing force in the software industry," Kavner
said in a statement.

AT&T will record a gain of over $100 million from the Novell stock it will
acquire in the transaction, spokesman Dick Gray said. It will own about 3
percent of Novell's stock.

Summary: Curious about the new Sparc, Solaris 2.1,if hard drive is enough.
Organization: Indiana University
Date: Sun, 3 Jan 1993 15:15:20 GMT

	Hello. I recently read the "real low-end" article in a late-fall
	issue of SunExpert and am curious about the new SparcClassic. Is
	16 mb RAM, a 207 mb hard drive, and Solaris 2.1 a good standalone
	package? Would it be possible to develop using GNU C or Sun's C?
	C++ as well? Scheme? Could this become a "home server" providing
	terminal access from a Macintosh and/or DOS box in other rooms?

	An alternative in my mind is a fast 486. Dell can preload their
	UNIX S5R4 for a very reasonable sum, bringing the total cost
	hardware plus operating system to under what the SparcClassic
	now goes for, and Dell's newer systems are Pentium-upgradeable.

	Moving down the cost levels, I understand Tenon's MachTen is a
	full implementation of Mach UNIX for about $600 and up that I
	could run on the Mac LCII 4/80 we currently have at home. We
	might require a little more memory and/or storage. Opinions?

	Finally, has anyone used Coherent 4.x? I intend to learn UNIX
	but finances are very tight right now, so I figure a 386 with
	Coherent (total system+OS under $1000) might be a good start.
	I mean to become a competent UNIX sysadmin, in practice and I
	hope by profession, so might a 386 be inadequate for my needs?

Real customer service; a business-computing thrust that the
system has lacked since the epoch; and that Ma Bell has just
given away control of the OS that runs her international
telecommunications hegemony.

Despite what Berkeley and Sun have done on workstations,
and what SCO and others have done on PCs, there's never
been a guiding force for multi-platform, commercially
supported UNIX.

We all know Windows NT will be an unholy piece of crap for
years after its release (it is, after all, born of UNIX and
Microsoft), whereas the USL i486 SVR4 can be cleaned up and
spit-shined for market by the end of '93.

You'd think AT&T would be a little more protective of its
ponderous link between its own computing needs and the
system that provides them.  You should be glad that UNIX is
no longer beholden incontrovertibly to one customer.

Anyone know the valuations of USL (book, annual earnings,
etc)?  The putative price was $360Mil, but that was in
Friday's price for Novell stock (the currency AT&T's
receiving for the sale), which has tilted down by 5% just
since yesterday's announcement, ostensibly because $360Mil
was too much.

The meat of the computing markets are 10-15 years behind
the current research.  UNIX (and the unbearably well-timed
Windows NT) will start to move into homes and small
businesses en masse over the next few years and will stay
there until about 2005; longer if something better and
grossly different doesn't hit engineering workstations in
the next couple of years.

There was a time when UNIX support was pretty good, you just had
know who to talk to in Murry Hill.  Of course that was 15 years ago!
Perhaps the best part of the early days of UNIX was that you got the
source code, and could fix it so it would do what you wanted.  I guess
the days of the shade tree UNIX hacker are truely over.

Oh, that's simple: it's simple. There are a handful of simple and powerful
interfaces that when combined cover virtually every requirement an operating
system might have to meet. Not only that, but it's safe... if you make a
mistake in programming, the mistake usually becomes obvious fairly quickly
and the damage is limited. Kill a process, and all the resources it held
are freed... this was a major advance over previous operating systems
where killing a process would leave files locked or in an incomplete state,
memory or disk storage lost in the cracks until you restarted the system
or ran diagnostics, and so on. Even today you can't take for granted the
ability to diddle with an executing program with impunity.

There are flaws... but most of the competitors share the same flaws to
some extent, and most of them have all sorts of magic you must understand
before you start programming. The magic in UNIX is usually invisible to
application programs, hidden away under system administration. The biggest
problems in UNIX lie here, and in low quality implementations of common
applications. Resolving that is a matter of engineering discipline, not
any technical shortcoming of UNIX itself.

how about:

	sed -e 's/[ ][ ]*/ /g' < in > out

this would reduce all occurances of more than one space to
just one space on any given line.

the bit with the "^" is limiting it to just the start of

 Well, HP-UX does have ACLs, though I haven't actually used them so I can't 
swear they're really like those in VMS (which I certainly have used).  In 
general, anything real in UNIX security is vendor dependent, which bites into
UNIX knowledge portability for system administrators, but also means that a 
crack into one vendor's UNIX won't port to another so easily.
