- Some platforms had STREAMS as early as SysVr3.0.

-
- That's nice. They also bought a SysVr3.x license, about three or four years
- ago, and the code they are shipping as "OSF/1," for both the macro- and
- micro-kernel stuff, still requires a USL source license, if you want source.
-
- >3) OSF/2 is the beast of interest, and it is based on Mach 3.0.
-
- OSF/2 does not exist, nor is there any guarantee from OSF that they will
- ever ship a Mach3.0-based system.
