Thomas According to Steve Comstock, you are here on the side of the angels. But let us speak of it quietly! There's one contributor responding to another posts of Steve's where he saw something funny in the contraction from z/OS UNIX to zUNIX - oddly unexplained - who lost a part of his anatomy normally considered to be vital at this suggestion.
I think I can understand why the "ZUX" might be considered a contraction step too far reminding one, as it does, of the opening credits of "Getting Straight". I suppose it's just an affectation to employ a lower case "z" for zUNIX". - Oh well, now I'd better (try to) clear up all the remaining mess!
