unix
/yoo'niks/ (Or "UNIX", in the authors'
words, "A weak pun on Multics") Plural "Unices". An
interactive
time-sharing
operating system
invented in 1969
by
Ken Thompson
after
Bell Labs
left the
Multics
project, originally so he could play games on his scavenged
PDP-7
.
Dennis Ritchie
, the inventor of
C
, is considered
a co-author of the system.
The turning point in Unix's history came when it was
reimplemented almost entirely in C during 1972 - 1974, making
it the first {source-portable} OS. Unix subsequently
underwent mutations and expansions at the hands of many
different people, resulting in a uniquely flexible and
developer
-friendly environment.
By 1991, Unix had become the most widely used {multi-user}
general-purpose operating system in the world. Many people
consider this the most important victory yet of hackerdom over
industry opposition (but see
Unix weenie
and
Unix conspiracy
for an opposing point of view).
Unix is now offered by many manufacturers and is the subject
of an international standardisation effort [called?].

"Unix" or "UNIX"? Both seem roughly equally popular, perhaps
with a historical bias toward the latter. "UNIX" is a
registered trademark of
The Open Group
, however, since it is
a name and not an acronym, "Unix" has been adopted in this
dictionary except where a larger name includes it in upper
case. Since the OS is {case-sensitive} and exists in many
different versions, it is fitting that its name should reflect
this.
