In 1994, after AT & T had sold UNIX System V to Novell and the rival Unix International consortium had disbanded, the Open Software Foundation ceased funding of research and development of OSF / 1.

UI had many of the same characteristics of OSF with the exception of a software development staff.

All the OSF technologies had corresponding manuals and supporting publications produced almost exclusively by the staff at OSF and published by Prentice-Hall.

OSF / 1 had previously shipped in a version for the MIPS architecture in 1991, but was not considered or advertised as a mature product.

OSF / 1 had a Mach-based kernel with many of the features missing from Ultrix.

Rauch was the artistic director and co-founder of the Cornerstone Theater Company in Los Angeles and had directed plays previously at OSF.

The design for the first outdoor OSF Elizabethan Theatre was sketched by Angus L. Bowmer on the back of an envelope based on his recollection of productions at the University of Washington in which he had acted as a student.

Operating systems that supported Alpha included OpenVMS ( previously known as OpenVMS AXP ), Tru64 UNIX ( previously known as DEC OSF / 1 AXP and Digital UNIX ), Windows NT ( until 4. 0 SP6 and Windows 2000 RC1 ), GNU / Linux ( Debian GNU / Linux, Gentoo Linux and Red Hat Linux ), BSD UNIX ( NetBSD, OpenBSD and FreeBSD up to 6. x ), as well as the L4Ka :: Pistachio kernel.

DCE / RPC's reference implementation ( version 1. 1 ) was previously available under the BSD-compatible ( Free Software ) OSF / 1. 0 license, and is still available for at least Solaris, AIX and VMS.

Unix International ( UI ) merged into Open Software Foundation ( OSF ) in 1994 only to merge with X / Open to form The Open Group in 1996.

In February 1996 OSF merged with X / Open to become The Open Group.

In 1996, X / Open and the new OSF merged to form the Open Group.

The KSR systems ran a specially customized version of the OSF / 1 operating system, a Unix variant, with programs compiled by a KSR-specific port of the Greenhills C and FORTRAN compilers.

In 1988, during the so-called " Unix wars ", DEC joined with IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and others to form the Open Software Foundation ( OSF ) to develop a version of Unix.

Dubbed OSF / 1, the aim was to compete with System V Release 4 from AT & T and Sun Microsystems, and it has been argued that a primary goal was for the operating system to be free of AT & T intellectual property.

Digital also strongly promoted OSF / 1 for real-time applications, and with traditional UNIX implementations at the time providing poor real-time support at best, the real-time and multi-threading support was heavily dependent on the Mach kernel.

In 1995, starting with release 3. 2, DEC renamed OSF / 1 AXP to Digital UNIX to reflect its conformance with the X / Open Single UNIX Specification.

According to Medline Plus, " Long-term use betel-areca preparations has been associated with oral submucosal fibrosis ( OSF ), pre-cancerous oral lesions and squamous cell carcinoma.

Despite the similarity in name and the fact that both groups were based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, there was never any connection between OSF and the Free Software Foundation, neither is it associated with the technology non-profit Open Software Foundation based in Washington, DC or Open Systems, Inc.

Later, DEC replaced Ultrix as its Unix offering with OSF / 1 for the Alpha, ending Unix development on the MIPS and VAX platforms.

Again, the UEG ( by now the Ultrix Engineering Group ) worked at making the new OSF / 1-based Digital Unix run well on DEC hardware, with the reliability and maintainability that people came to expect from DEC operating systems.

OSF projects include the National Security and Human Rights Campaign that opposes detention of unprivileged combatants and the Lindesmith Center and others dealing with drug reform.

At a point, most of the Alpha OSF / 1 kernel could be built with TenDRA C and afterwards there was also a similar effort to port the FreeBSD kernel.

As with other OSF offerings, ANDF was specified through an open selection process.

DEC OPS5 is an extended implementation of the OPS5 language definition, developed for use with the VMS, RISC ULTRIX, and DEC OSF / 1 operating systems.

Partnerships with Arena Stage, Berkeley Rep, Guthrie Theatre, Playwrights Center, the Public Theatre, Seattle Rep, Steppenwolf Theatre Company, and the Yale Repertory Theatre ensure that the plays will reach beyond their original OSF audience.

Artistic Director Jerry Turner recognized the opportunity to take risks with unconventional staging and subjects, and called for its development as a third OSF theatre.

The Distributed Computing Environment is a component of the OSF offerings, along with Motif and Distributed Management Environment ( DME ).

In the early 1990s, several Unix R & D systems were ported to the PA-RISC platform, including several attempts of OSF / 1, various Mach ports and systems that combined parts of Mach with other systems ( MkLinux, Mach 4 / Lites ).

It was supplied with UNIX System V R4 and WISH ( an extension of OSF Motif ).

The Independent Senate Group (, OSF ) is a parliamentary party in the Dutch Senate with one senator, representing several provincial parties.

Previously, Tru64 UNIX was a product of Compaq, and before that, Digital Equipment Corporation ( DEC ), where it was known as Digital UNIX ( formerly DEC OSF / 1 AXP ).

As its original name suggests, Tru64 UNIX is based on the OSF / 1 operating system.

OSF / 1 AXP was a full 64-bit operating system and the native UNIX implementation for the Alpha architecture.

From OSF / 1 AXP V2. 0 onwards, UNIX System V compatibility was also integrated into the system.

This caused many of AT & T's other licensees of UNIX System V to become concerned that this would put Sun in an advantaged position, and it ultimately led to Digital Equipment, HP, IBM, and others forming the Open Software Foundation ( OSF ) in 1988.

The Open Software Foundation ( OSF ) was a not-for-profit organization founded in 1988 under the U. S. National Cooperative Research Act of 1984 to create an open standard for an implementation of the UNIX operating system.

AT & T founded the UNIX International ( UI ) project management organization later that year as a counter-response to the OSF.

OSF's UNIX reference implementation was known as " OSF / 1 " and was first released in December 1991 and adopted by Digital a month later.

By the time OSF stopped development of OSF / 1 in 1994, the only major UNIX system vendor using the complete OSF / 1 package was Digital, which rebranded it Digital UNIX ( later known as Tru64 UNIX after Digital's acquisition by Compaq ).

In March 1994 CDE became the responsibility of the " new OSF ", a merger of the Open Software Foundation and Unix International ;

TET was produced as a result of collaboration between OSF, UNIX International and the X / Open Consortium.

OSF and UNIX International ( Peter H. Salus, The Daemon, the GNU and the Penguin )

In 1939, OSF took a production of The Taming of the Shrew to the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco, California that was nationally broadcast on radio.

AT & T founded the UNIX International organization as a counter-response to the OSF.
