<p>Sort of stubby</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;UNIX Support Group&#039;&#039;&#039; (usually given as &#039;&#039;&#039;USG&#039;&#039;&#039;) was set up by [[Bell Labs]] in September, 1973, after it eventually determined that [[UNIX]] was the best [[operating system]] for the increasingly popular [[PDP-11]]. It decided to fund a small team to support UNIX for use within Bell Labs, something that the system&#039;s creators in the Research group were not really in a position to do. The USG was set up in Murray Hill; the supervisor of the group was Joe Maranzano, and the Department Head was Berkeley Tague.<br /> <br /> Its system, [[USG UNIX]], was eventually merged with several of the other UNIX variants within Bell - [[CB-UNIX]] and [[PWB/UNIX]] - (all of them by then based on Research&#039;s [[Unix Seventh Edition]]) to create [[UNIX System III]]. <br /> <br /> {{semi-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category: Software Manufacturers]]</div>
