  If you know sys V and are careful, porting CAP to it is not all that
difficult. A year or so ago, when I was first introduced to Sys V by
way of a Masscomp, I ported CAP to it without too many problems. We
also modified it to use one of Kinetics MultiBus FastPath cards and that
is where most of our problems were. A straight forward port runs well
but if you're so inclined Sys V has facilities that allow you to 
improve the code if you're so inclined.
