Lessons in non-logic, Part 1:

    As far as 4.1BSD goes:  The code for chroot(), chdir(), and chdirec() (the
    underlying code of both) is character for character the same:  ERGO, 4.1
    does exactly the same.

So what if the code for chroot(), chdir(), and chdirec() is the same ?
The code for nami() (the underlying code for ALL file naming) is NOT
character for character the same:  ERGO, 4.1 DOESN'T do exactly the same.

(What happened to experimentation: why not TRY it before you say it next time ?)

(As far as I am aware, NO post-V7 UN*X has got that mis-feature about `..'.)

P.S. Would it be possible for people to stop arguing about this now ?
It's all been said several times over now.
