University of New South Wales

The University of New South Wales (UNSW; branded as UNSW Australia) is an Australian public research university located in the suburb of Kensington in Sydney, established in 1949. It is regarded as one of the most prestigious universities in Australia, with stringent entry requirements.

UNSW attracts the highest median Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank in Australia, and sets the highest combined ATAR cut-offs out of any Australian university. It was ranked among the top 50 universities in the world in the 2015-16 QS World University Rankings. The university is particularly strong in engineering and technology, commerce and economics, and law; the 2015 QS World University Rankings by Subject ranked UNSW to be 12th in the world for accounting and finance, 15th for law, and 21st in engineering and technology. UNSW has produced more millionaires, and its graduates hold more chief executive positions of ASX 200 listed companies, than any other university in Australia.

Version 6 Unix

Sixth Edition Unix, also called Version 6 Unix or just V6, was the first version of the Unix operating system to see wide release outside Bell Labs. It was released in May 1975 and, like its direct predecessor, targeted the DEC PDP-11 family of minicomputers. It was superseded by Version 7 Unix in 1978/1979, although V6 systems remained in regular operation until at least 1985.

AT&T Corporation licensed Version 5 Unix to educational institutions only, but licensed Version 6 also to commercial users for $20,000, and it remained the most widely used version into the 1980s. An enhanced V6 was the basis of the first ever commercially sold Unix version, INTERACTIVE's IS/1. Bell's own PWB/UNIX 1.0 was also based on V6, where earlier (unreleased) versions were based on V4 and V5. Whitesmiths produced and marketed a (binary-compatible) V6 clone under the name Idris.

The code for the original V6 Unix has been made available under a BSD License under agreement from the SCO Group; see Ancient UNIX Systems.
