Thanks to Guy Harris for the corrections. In response to his other questions:

        1). Why was UNIX/RT canned instead of TS? Good question! I believe
            because of staffing a choice had to be made. Since DMERT was RT
            based and would be supported, USG felt UNIX/TS had more potential
            from a computer center standpoint.

        2). Was UNIX/TS+ another modified UNIX/TS?  Yes, the UNIX/TS Augmented
            that I spoke of was actually called UNIX/TS++. Modifications were
            made that were mostly hidden from the user interface.

        3). What was CB-UNIX based on?  CB-UNIX was a modified MERT. The
            SCCS project modified extensively, the version of MERT they had.
            Later, they incorporated the MERT changes in UNIX/RT releases.
            Eventually, an agreement to take the requested CB modifications
            into the standard UNIX/RT product was reached and that line of
            modified O.S. ceased.

Thanks again for the corrections,
