However, I've been adding the ATT bin directories to my UCB universe path, and this works fine for all pre-compiled ATT universe commands - including very SysV specific things like ipcs/ipcrm to manage shared mem. & other IPCs. The only time I need to switch to the ATT universe (usually just by prefixing the current command with ATT, tho' I could go interactive) is when I want 'cc' to link in ATT libraries and include files, or I want to look at SysV versions of the man pages. (For some reason ATT man doesn't use 'more' - it's not even in the ATT bin directories.) -- BURNS,JIM Georgia Institute of Technology, Box 30178, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{decvax,hplabs,ncar,purdue,rutgers}!gatech!prism!gt0178a Internet: gt0178a@prism.gatech.edu
