Lest any readers of this group be unfamiliar with software licenses,
let me warn you NOT TO TRY THIS.  It is a major infraction of a Unix
source license to copy Unix-provided code to an unlicensed machine.
Since it costs at least $20,000 to get a source license, very few
people may legally run UNIX code on their PCs.

Violation of the license can get your company and yourself tied in
legal knots for years.  Just remember that AT&T has a small city of
lawyers just waiting for cases like this.
