In engineering, 4.x is the standard. : We here at the Engineering Physics Lab have one Motorola machine running Sys : V, and it's a real bear working on it after I've been using my bsd 4.3 : system from Mt Xinu all day. I don't consider it a standard either. Nor do most universities and research institutions. SYS V lacks too many useful features that 4.x supports as standard. "Enhanced" versions are only slightly better. It qualifies more as "ad hoc" than 4.xBSD, especially since they've had so many years to study and learn from a good example. AT&T can start by supporting control-Z and signal(SIGSTOP... and signal(SIGCONT..., which are much more useful to me for development than shared memory. -- Scientists will study your brain to learn more about your distant cousin, Man.
