The recent discussion the 16 user limit and expansion thereof for 3.2.2 led me to wonder about my 3.2.1. I looked for /etc/license or mention in the manuals, but there is no mention of the subject. The 3.2.1 that I have came as part of an educational institutional grant deal from AT&T where Unix came as a mandatory part of buying 6386 systems. Eventhough most of the people buying the 6386s wanted to run only DOS, it was still cheaper to buy the systems and just stick Unix on a shelf somewhere. It is a full (at least by AT&T's notion) unix system that inlcudes the compilers, etitors and assorted stuff. That leads me to one gripe. You'd think that AT&T could at least include the nroff part of DWB as part of the full Unix system. Not being able to format and print man pages is ridiculous. Expecting me to buy all of DWB from Image Network, Elan, etc. is unfair. Apple, Sun, Interactive, et al manage to include at least nroff if not troff too. Grrrr. One hopes that this polciy might change with Sys V release 4 (please?). ==Bill== -- Bill Mayhew NEOUCOM Computer Services Department Rootstown, OH 44272-9995 USA phone: 216-325-2511 wtm@uhura.neoucom.edu ....!uunet!aablue!neoucom!wtm via internet: (140.220.001.001)
