[QUOTE="Justice C. Bigler, post: 139375, member: 74"] Re: DiGiCo SD21 Unix was developed by AT&Ts Bell Labs back in the early 70s by guys like Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie (who wrote the C programming language). Because of regulation by the Federal Givernment, they couldn't sell it, so they licensed it to other developers. And then it was further developed by various licensees into BSD, AIX, System V, SCO, and Solaris, et al. OS X was originally based on the Mach BSD Kernel, which, like Linux, is a Unix-like operating system. Linux being originally written by Linus Torvalds while in college at the University of Helsinki,and BSD was developed by UC Berkley they are simiiar in their approach to operating system design and some software is compatible. OS X was written from the Mach Kernel with a large portion of code brought in from Steve Jobs' NeXT system. Android is based on Linux. iOS is based on BSD (Darwin OS X kernel) sort of. They are all "Unixlike" operating systems. Really, even Windows NT is based on Unix deep down at the kernel level. My guess is the Waves stuff is probably based on BSD rather than Linux or a more pure Unix implementation (since pure Unix these days really only runs on mainframes and super computers). [/QUOTE]
