Sure, if you already had the SysV source. Much of the BSD sources are right now sitting in UUNET's anon FTP area, and the rest are heading there. So much for that. That includes kernel source. BSD was/is vastly superior to SYSV, at least pre-SYSVR4 which basically cloned most of BSD so what's there to say? The fast file system alone was enough to make you run the other way from systems which lacked it. Not to mention SYSV's lack of any backup facility. A stable file store is kind of important, at least to me. -- -Barry Shein Software Tool & Die | {xylogics,uunet}!world!bzs | bzs@world.std.com Purveyors to the Trade | Voice: 617-739-0202 | Login: 617-739-WRLD
