Re: [TUHS] UNIX or unix - TUHS

  One comment .. stated that (s)he worked at The Bell
and they wrote it
 "unix" (lower-case) to distinguish it from MULTICS. Anyone care to
 comment on this? 
All the original Multics hardcopy documentation I have (both from GE and MIT,
as well as later material from Honeywell) spells it 'Multics'. Conversely, an
original V6 UPM spells it 'UNIX'; I think it switched to 'Unix' around
the
time of V7. (I don't know about _really_ early, like on the PDP-7.)

The bit about case to differentiate _might_ be right.
