VentureCom Inc., which developed Verix, a System III based software [sic] available for the IBM PC and DEC Pro-300 Series, will supply the software to DEC for use on the three low end systems. Officials of both firms declined to reveal the value of the agreement. Paraphrased: ...DEC will shelve its Pro-V7M, a Unix-like OS for the Pro- 300 series (YAU-LOS: Yet Another Unix-Like OS) which was announced, but never shipped. V7M11 (yau-los for the pdp-11) will continue to be offered. ...Venix for the Pro-300 will be available in May from DEC for ~$800. Versions for the Rainbow and Micro-11 will be ready "sometime in the fall" (...the check is in the mail...). Offered Without Comment.
