It does look nice, even better than old-fashioned UNIX. However, the manual describes where UCB wants to go, not where they've been. I wonder how they're going to get from here to there. Of course System III is obsolete, unless you have to worry about compatibility or unless you need a standard UNIX licensed at an attractive cost. I personally would love to hear how 5.0 differs from 3.0, in order to have an idea of the direction USG Unix is going... I would prefer some facts rather than raves, since the 3.0 previews were frequently off-base!
