*>I'd noticed that it was spelt "Unix" in Camel 3. This was one of the things that 
made me think that I might be right all along.

"The citations notes as "told to Mahoney" are from AT&T Bell Laboratories,
"The Unix Oral History Project: Release.0, The Beginning," ed. and
transcr. by Mchael S. Mahoney (Typescript distributed by AT&T at UNIX
Expo, 1989); ....
Doug McIlroy told me that he thought spelling UNIX with capital letters,
rather than Unix, had been a grave error. I have adopted his suggestion
and used Unix in most places."

Also, the Open Group, the current copyright holder [ www.opengroup.org ]
still refers to it as UNIX in it's publications.

UNIX isn't an adjective :) but it seems both are widely used though UNIX
would seem to be more correct.
