Eunice (software)

Eunice was a Unix-like working environment for VAX computers running DEC's VAX/VMS, based on the BSD version of Unix. It was originally developed ca. 1981 by David Kashtan at SRI and later maintained and marketed by The Wollongong Group.

Eunice was one of several Unix compatibility packages developed during the 1980s. It provided VMS binary versions Unix tools, a VMS object library emulating of the Unix API (including the system call interface) and an assembler that produced VMS binaries. Eunice was criticized for its performance problems and not quite complete Unix compatibility.

Eunice (Bible)

According to the New Testament, Eunice was the mother of Timothy. She is mentioned only in 2 Timothy 1:5, which relates Paul saying to Timothy, "I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well." (ESV)

Many commentators have also connected Eunice to 2 Tim. 3:15, where Timothy is reminded "how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings" (ESV). Albert Barnes, for example, says, "The mother of Timothy was a pious Hebrewess, and regarded it as one of the duties of her religion to train her son in the careful knowledge of the word of God."
