Yeah, it's in there. As someone who spent mucho time putting stuff into
V.4 I can tell you it is more BSD than what you traditionally think of 
as SV+BSD. In fact I can't think of anything off the top of my head that
_isn't_ in SVR4 that is in BSD. (4.3 at least, 4.4 not being available
yet) Not to worry Jim. Note though that what is on the source tape AT&T
sends to liscencees is not necessarily what goes out in that persons release.
However, since CBM is the licensee they should be able to put it all in
and not have to worry about missing something.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
