After the [[SVR4]] effort to merge [[SunOS]] and [[System V]], [[AT&T Corporation|AT&T]]'s [[Unix System Laboratories]] (USL) formed the [[Univel]] partnership with [[Novell]] to develop a desktop version of Unix for [[i386]] and [[i486]] machines, codenamed "Destiny".<ref>{{Cite journal |journal=Computer Business Review |url=http://www.cbronline.com/news/unix_labs_and_novell_plan_joint_venture_reveal_bones_of_mass_distribution_alliance |title=Unix Labs and Novell plan join venture, reveal bones of mass distribution alliance |date=25 October 1991 |access-date=2008-10-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506095315/http://www.cbronline.com/news/unix_labs_and_novell_plan_joint_venture_reveal_bones_of_mass_distribution_alliance |archive-date=6 May 2016}}</ref>

Destiny is based on the [[System V#SVR4.2|Unix System V release 4.2]] kernel. The [[MoOLIT]] toolkit is used for the [[windowing system]], allowing the user to choose between an [[OPEN LOOK]] or [[Motif (software)|MOTIF]]-like look and feel at runtime. In order to make the system more robust on commodity desktop hardware, the [[Veritas Software|Veritas]] [[Veritas File System|VXFS]] [[journaling file system]] is used in place of the [[Unix File System|UFS]] file system used in SVR4. Networking support in UnixWare includes both [[TCP/IP]] and interoperability with Novell's [[NetWare]] protocols ([[IPX/SPX]]); the former were the standard among Unix users at the time of development, while PC networking was much more commonly based on NetWare.<ref name="infoworld">{{cite news |newspaper=InfoWorld |date=28 June 1993 |first=Alan |last=Radding |title=UnixWare: Bringing shrink-wrapped Unix to the masses |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PzsEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA66 |pages=65–66}}</ref>

Destiny was released in 1992 as UnixWare 1.0, with the intention of unifying the fragmented PC Unix market behind this single variant of the operating system. The system was earlier to reach the corporate computing market than Microsoft's [[Windows NT]], but observers of the period remarked that UnixWare was "just another flavor of Unix", Novell's involvement being more a marketing ploy than a significant influx of technology.{{r|infoworld}} There two editions of Destiny: a ''Personal Edition'', which includes Novell [[Internetwork Packet Exchange|IPX]] networking but not [[Internet Protocol Suite|TCP/IP]], and an ''Advanced Server'' Edition with TCP/IP and other server software.  The personal edition is limited to two active users, while the server edition includes an unlimited user license. Around 35,000 copies of UnixWare 1.0 were sold.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://blakeley.com/rooms/my-articles/Unixware.PCW210394.html |title=UnixWare grows up; Novell's revamped SVR4.2 environment proves very workable |first=Michael |last=Blakeley |date=21 March 1994 |newspaper=PC Week}}</ref>

In 1992, <!-- Univel -->UnixWare 1.0 Personal Edition came with [[DOS Merge 3.0]] and Novell's [[DR&nbsp;DOS 6.0]].

In 1993, Novell purchased USL from AT&T and merged USL and Univel into a new [[Unix Systems Group]].<ref>{{Cite journal |url=http://www.cbronline.com/news/novell_formally_announces_the_unix_systems_group |title=Novell formally announces the Unix Systems Group |journal=Computer Business Review |date=7 July 1993 |access-date=2008-10-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100218150651/http://www.cbronline.com/news/novell_formally_announces_the_unix_systems_group|archive-date=2010-02-18}}</ref>
