From: utzoo!decvax!harpo!seismo!dmy Newsgroups: net.unix-wizards,net.misc Title: Is it true in 4.2 ? Article-I.D.: seismo.196 Posted: Wed Jan 12 11:03:36 1983 Received: Fri Jan 14 02:29:47 1983 Is it true that in 4.2 the "open" command will take three arguments? Won't this break virtually every program? If so, why not simply have the kernel call be Open (or opEN or whatever) with open, creat, etc. defined in terms of it (macro, subroutine, hard wired, whichever is best). It is only rarely necessary and desirable to cause the sky to fall. --dmy-- (David Yablon, decvax!harpo!seismo!dmy)
