i agree with doug; despite the fact that more than a few competent people
work very hard on P1003.2, the best i can hope for is that it won't be
a complete embarassment. it certainly isn't unix; it certainly isn't
like any unix i have used. in fact, it is less like unix than plan 9 is.
so guess what i am going to use.
