   This is true, but in computer marketing circles the definition
   extended far beyond the kernel.  See, for example, what AT&T
   included in System III or for that matter what all came on the BSD
   tapes.

It had nothing to do with "marketting circles", check what came on the
LMI CADR, or LAMBDA tapes.  Or what came on RSX-10, or even ITS.
