A/UX
(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 Mac.
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.
