  Digital UNIX
Digital Unix (DUNIX) was the final name of the Unix variant developed to run on computers produced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC).
Later DEC computers, such as their VAX systems were also popular platforms to run Unix on, the first port to VAX was in 1978 (the VAX was only released in October 1977).
Following the acquisition of DEC by Compaq, Digital Unix was renamed Tru64.

The Digital Porting Assistant (available for Digital UNIX 3.2, and shipped as part of the developer's toolkit on Digital UNIX 4.0) is a graphical environment which aids in the porting process.
In Digital UNIX V4.0 and later, it is possible to rebuild the kernel to support approximately microsecond resolution from the gettimeofday(2) system call, and from the various library routines that use this system call.
Digital's plans for the future development of Digital UNIX are fully under Digital's control, and our plans for a fully SPEC 1170 compliant version, UNIX clusters, and other leading commercial enhancements are on course.

 The UNIX System -- History and Timeline -- UNIX History
Soon all the large vendors, and many smaller ones, were marketing their own, diverging, versions of the UNIX system optimized for their own computer architectures and boasting many different strengths and features.
Customers found that, although UNIX systems were available everywhere, they seldom were able to interwork or co-exist without significant investment of time and effort to make them work effectively.
Throughout the early and mid-1980's, the debate about the strengths and weaknesses of UNIX systems raged, often fuelled by the utterances of the vendors themselves who sought to protect their profitable proprietary system sales by talking UNIX systems down.

 IM053 Digital Unix and Oracle7: Recipes for Disaster
Digital support concurred with us that the likely problem was the KZPSA A09 firmware (the common element and indicated by bus resets showing with uerf), but offered no resolution other than trying to escalate getting us a copy of A10.
Digital's response was there was likely a faulty pc-telnet implementation causing this, but we saw it in at least three common telnet implementations (on both pc's and mac's).

 Tru64 UNIX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is unusual among common commercial UNIX implementations in being built on the Mach kernel, sharing this characteristic with NeXTSTEP, MkLinux, and Mac OS X.
In 1988, during the so-called "Unix wars", DEC joined with IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and others to form the Open Software Foundation (OSF) to develop a version of Unix to compete with System V Release 4 from ATandT and Sun Microsystems.
After Compaq's purchase of DEC in early 1998, with the release of version 4.0F, Digital UNIX was renamed to Tru64 UNIX to emphasise its 64-bit-clean nature and de-emphasise the Digital brand.
