BWAHAHAHA!

HP-UX v5 is a rewrite of the System V kernel in HP's proprietary
MODCAL.  It runs atop another lower-level OS called SUN OS.  
It's pretty amazing in the sense that you can do that to Unix and
it still looks and works like Unix.  Well, mostly.  There are
some funny things about '.' and '..' on HP-UX v5.
