[net.unix] Uniplus SysVr2

sommers@topaz.RUTGERS.EDU (Mamaliz @ The Soup Kitchen) (08/15/85)

Does anybody know what Unisoft has deleted or added in their release of
SysVr2?  I am working on one of those projects which will eventually have
to be ported all over the place, and I would like to know what to leave
out or think hard about.

I do not have a set of AT&T SysV manuals, and even if I did, I would
probably not find the time to go through page by page noting differences.
So  has anybody (Unisoft?) compiled a list?  One a peon can get at?  

Thanks muchly

Here is a 'basic' list of whats new


1)	SGS C compiler/assembler .... the MIT stuff is no more (actually we
	will be distributing it with 5.2 so that users can use their old 
	code files/librarys, it is called cc5.0/as5.0 etc, this is only
	in 5.2 we will not be shipping it with future major releases). Note
	the assembler has a new (Motorolla) syntax.

2)	With the above stuff you get COFF format files (note the old compiler
	system makes a.out, again for this release only the kernel supports
	a.out as well as COFF so you can run your old code files).

3)	sdb - which after all is the main reason for COFF.

4)	terminfo and curses

5)	record locking (5.2 compatable)

6)	shl - shell layering

7)	4.2BSD networking, B-NET is now 4.2 compatable with all the goodies
	that means.

8)	nami caching 


that is a brief list of whats there, the only thing I can think of that has been
removed is more which is replaced by pg.
