I disagree with the implication. Both System V and BSD Unix have their pros and cons. Depending on what you're doing, in some cases you'll be better off with System V and in other cases you'll prefer BSD (for instance, research vs development). I see nothing wrong with that. It just says that neither is perfect. Eduardo Krell AT&T Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill {ihnp4,seismo,ucbvax}!ulysses!ekrell
