aus,

For the record, UNIX.COM is held by a trust and the trust is ultimately responsible for all expenditures associated with UNIX.COM. Silk Road donates (provides) the hosting services and provides my system adminstration labor to operate and maintain the forum, from a technical perspective. We do this to support the trust, from a technical perspective.

We personally don't have any ill feelings toward the Open Group and understand their desire to dominate the unix world and attempts to enforce a trademark that has long become generic.

The Open Group generates revenue to support their meetings and directors, etc. by requiring all unix vendors to pay fees to them. When an eventually and ultimate trademark ruling cancels the unix mark (because it can be proved in a court of law that the term unix has been generic for many years), The Open Group may find themselves in a difficult time to generate revenue by selling rights to use a generic mark.

It is simply a matter of time before the Open Group makes someone angry enough to go to the trouble and expense of having their claim to trademark cancelled. They are very intelligent people and they are certainly clever enough to know that their claim to trademark rights is skating on extremely thin ice. It is my hope they are clever enough to skate appropriately.

Accordingly, the term "Live Free or Die!" seem very appropriate.

MBK_WORK_LIB(1)                                              MBK ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES                                             MBK_WORK_LIB(1)

NAME

       MBK_WORK_LIB - define the mbk working directory

SYNOPSYS

       c-shell running
       setenv MBK_WORK_LIB unix path

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs  to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

       Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
       E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr

DESCRIPTION

       MBK_WORK_LIB sets the directory where are saved the results of an invocation of mbk or genlib. This directory is considered to be, from  an
       mbk point of view, read and write.
       Also,  when  a  file  is  searched  for  reading,  the  first  directory  to  be looked at is the MBK_WORK_LIB, and then the one defined in
       MBK_CATA_LIB(1).
       The unix path argument must be a actually accessible path on your host machine.

ERRORS

       "mbk_fopen : can't open file 'unix_path/file.xx'"
              This occurs when either the unix path is irrelevent, or when the file doesn't exist if it is open for reading,  or  when  you  don't
              have the right on the file or directory while trying to write it.

EXAMPLE

            setenv MBK_WORK_LIB ~fred/crechan/uom

SEE ALSO

       mbk(3), genlib(1), MBK_CATA_LIB(1).
