Could some kind soul please tell me any functional differences b/n
3.1 vs 3.2. Or refer me to the proper book that explains this to me.
Thanks very much.
Ice.

Or refer me to the proper book that explains this to me. Assuming, as your subject line hints, that you're talking about AT&T's UNIX System V Release 3, the "book" to look for is the release notes for Release 3.2, for the specific hardware platform you are upgrading. You can (or could) get copies of these from Prentice Hall for the 3b2 and 386 versions. The major differences seem to be the addition of FACE, based on FMLI/ETI; a major upgrade to the lp spooler; and significant improvements to the networking code. Some vendors have also jumped to using STREAMS based tty's with 3.2, though not in the 386 world to the best of my knowledge. In the 386 world, significant XENIX compatability was also added. Some versions also included a significantly improved compiler. Note that many vendors never release SysV/386r3.1, but rather jumped from 3.0 to 3.2, sometimes with strange sub-jumps (eg. ISC's 386/ix 2.0). -- Greg A.
