First of all, thanks to everyone that aswered to my original posting.

Next, another question.

Using the Unix3.0 (Web2C) distribution seems to be the safest way to
go, but is the Unix distribution "SysV friendly"?  From the bits I've
seen in the unix3.0 directory at Labrea.stanford, even some file names
are over the dreaded 14-character SysV limit.

Is it going to be as easy as typing "make" under UNIX/386?

	Thanks in advance
