You must have version 1.1.  You will find "more" and many other BSDisms
included in version 1.2.  The AIX PS/2 and AIX/370 kernel evolved from
a BSD kernel (with much brought in from System V over the years), so you
should find the BSD compatibility to be pretty good.  Many of the BSD
application programs were left out of 1.1 mostly to reduce the Quality
Assurance workload.  In 1.1, I also miss some things like "last" and
"strings".
