Try to remember that the string ``UNIX'' is a registered trademark of AT&T which is used [ according to their lawyers ;-) ] to describe a particular product produced by AT&T. Since we are all using the most recent ;-) implementation of that AT&T product, it should be safe to assume ``UNIX'' describes S5R3, until such time as S5R4 is released. -- John F.
