Indeed. Reading that was a bit of a blast from the past. I'm half expecting
someone to crawl out of the woodwork and claim to still be running a Eunice
box now...

There was a quote that I can't track down at the moment that summed up
HP/UX quite well. Paraphrasing:

	People often mistake the cc command on HP/UX for a C compiler.
	Once you realise that it's simply a tool for relinking the kernel,
	and serves no other purpose, you run into far fewer problems.
