Yeah, I did that, back in the spring and summer of '85 ... of course,
that was X version 2, not X version 11 ..

It's grown a hundred times since 1979, without becoming a hundred times more useful. Ob. hack: System V IPC. Ecch. -- (peter@taronga.uucp.ferranti.com) `-_-' 'U`

V7 has developed and flourished inside Bell Labs, and begot in succession V8, V9, and now V10 (manuals available through Saunders Colledge Publishing; UNIX RESEARCH SYSTEM TENTH EDITION Volume I and II, ISBN 0-03-047532-5 and 0-03-047529-5 respectively). Versions of V9 have even been spotted running outside of Bell Labs, and maybe someday a V10 version will be as well. | Ob. hack: System V IPC. Ecch. There is a scurrilous rumour going around that says the reason there are three sepperate IPC mechanisms in SysVoid is that three sepperate politically powerful groups inside AT&T came up with their own IPC mechanism for System III, and all of them insisted that *their* version be in System V. I can believe it. -- V9: the kernel where you can do fgrep <something> */*.[ch] and not get "Arguments too long". cks@hawkwind.utcs.toronto.edu ...!{utgpu,utzoo,watmath}!utgpu!cks
