Ok, I have asked all the System V guru's I know. (Even tried AT&T :-) and have got nowhere. So perhaps the net can help. Can anybody provide a list (succinct if possible) of the major changes introduced with System V 3.1,3.2 etc. A reference to a suitable source would also be useful. Frequently we (a computer vendor) respond to tenders that call for say System V 3.3. In one case the tender asked for 3.3 only weeks after AT&T announced it. In many cases the customer simply wants the latest and greatest of whatever... In other cases they do have a need for specific features that may have been introduced with a particular release. (Ok, most clever software writers try and avoid such release dependance but...). My company sells a Unix derrived from Sys V 3.1, with enhancements such as FFS from BSD etc etc. It may well be the case that our Unix does indeed provide the feature that the customer want's - but without a list of the differences between releases we don't know. Thank you (in advance :-) -- Simon J. Gerraty <sjg@sun0.melb.bull.oz.au> #include <disclaimer> /* imagine something *very* witty here */
