   I just got a chance to play with the new AT&T Unix PC. Apparently the
optional C compiler only allows 8-character variable names. What gives?
The system is supposed to be System V Unix. I was under the impression
that System V allowed long names. Am  I wrong about System V in general
supporting long names?
