USG Unix {operating system} /U-S-G yoo'niks/ Refers to AT&T {Unix} commercial versions after {Version 7}, especially System III and System V releases 1, 2, and 3. So called because during most of the lifespan of those versions AT&T's support crew was called the "Unix Support Group". Compare {BSD}. [{Jargon File}] (1997-02-20)
