The FOLDOC dictionary at http://foldoc.efnet.org/index.html has no entry

is based on BSD 4.4-lite and has its homepage at http://www.freebsd.org.

I was browsing around at the Berkeley web site and found the following:

BERKELEY UNIX

However, there was no URL :(
Maybe we should ask one of the above mentioned persons, if there is such a
thing.
