It doesn't support symbolic links. Or select() using any file descriptors other than a network socket. Unix domain sockets are not supported. cp -r isn't there either. Actually, the TCP/IP is an expensive option - as normally distributed, all the functions like socket(), connect(), etc. return an error (Unimplemented system call or something like that). Oh, and some of the TCP/IP socket function interfaces are slightly different than 4.2 (I can't recall the specifics right now) Oh, it DOES have C-shell. However, the kernal does NOT recognize "#!", which limits the usefulness of csh scripts. I would rather have berkeley 4.2, but we really need shared memory. John Nelson (a UniPlus+ System V user)
