Given what you pulled out of an 11/44 in the last 5-or-so years, I can't wait to see what will happen with a 3/180.

It's v7 UNIX, which we oldtimers still cling to. (Actually, I clung to v6 for even longer.) Nothing like an operating system that one can *understand*.

Sounds like the arguments I get. ``Berkeley? Why would you ever want to go with Berkeley when AT&T has published this *nice* SVID?'' Can't you just hear Henry now? ``Now *why* would they do that when it used to be done this way, which made so much more *sense*?'' Ah! To be a fly on that wall! -david- SVID a unix definition even managers pretend to understand. Oh yes... definitely ;-)

Hehehhehhe... wait until he gets a load of SOS 4.0 !! [background sounds: a blood-curdling yowl, donning of fire-resistant suit, engaging of a flame thrower, sounds of a burning machine room, along with a Sun3/whatever.] He may even *like* BSD after seeing what SUN has done to our favorite OS. :-) >SVID a unix definition even managers pretend to understand. I heard someone say: "SOS 4.0 is VMS of all UN*Xes.
