Relay-Version: version B 2.10 5/3/83; site utzoo.UUCP Path: utzoo!linus!philabs!seismo!hao!cires!nbires!ut-ngp!ut-sally!jsq From: jsq@ut-sally.UUCP Newsgroups: net.usenix,net.sources,net.unix-wizards Subject: UNIX System V and 4.1C BSD Message-ID: <86@ut-sally.UUCP> Date: Tue, 9-Aug-83 17:45:10 EDT Article-I.D.: ut-sally.86 Posted: Tue Aug 9 17:45:10 1983 Date-Received: Fri, 12-Aug-83 11:05:45 EDT Lines: 33 The paper ``UNIX System V and 4.1C BSD'' by John Chambers and John Quarterman has been posted to net.sources, in nine parts: compare.[A-I]. It is also available for copying with uucp from decvax, seismo, ucbvax, and ut-sally: ~uucp/compare is a cover letter and ~uucp/compare.[1-3] is the paper, except the whole thing is called ~uucp/4bsd-vs-usg5 on ucbvax. FTP can be used to retrieve the cover letter and paper in one file from utexas-11.ARPA as ~ftp/compare.doc (login ftp, password guest). This copy is exactly like the one which will appear in the proceedings of the July 1983 Toronto USENIX conference. There will probably be a later version called ``UNIX System V and 4.2BSD'' when we get a 4.2 tape. That version will also contain revisions according to comments we received at USENIX and after; the present version does not, as we cannot work on it now but nonetheless wish to satisfy the numerous requests for copies. It is worth noting that, contrary to the speculation in the paper, DEC will support 4.2BSD, but not 2BSD (they have their own PDP-11 UNIX version). Apologies for the duplicate copies of the first three sections in net.sources. We are posting this article to multiple newsgroups in hopes that everybody interested will see it so it can be the last posting about this paper.
