A/UX
<operating system> (Apple's UniX) Apple's first version of Unix for
Macintosh computers. A/UX merges the Macintosh Finder (GUI) with a Unix core,
offering functions from both systems. It will run on some late-model Motorola
68000 Macs, but not on the Power Macintosh.
A/UX is based on AT&T Unix System V.2.2 with numerous extensions from V.3, V.4
and BSD 4.2/4.3. It also provides full POSIX compliance.
A/UX 3.x.x incorporates System 7 for the Macintosh, thus supporting the vast
majority of Macintosh applications. System 7 and Unix are fully integrated under
A/UX 3.x.x with the Unix file system being seen as a disk drive by the Finder.
