	Well, Ron at brl-tgr.ARPA, thank you for your inspired comment on
	the version of Unix that we run. To quote your reply,
=== Start quote ===

> 	B) It's not only a 4.2 machine. It runs AT&T's system 5 as well.
Actually, it is neither, real 4.2 or Sys V enthusiests would not be
pleased at their use of these titles.

=== End quote ===

	I assume you have our great (!) machine and use it daily, so
	for sure you know what you're saying. Just to offer my humble
	opinion: being the person who realy IS in charge of these ports,
	I would like to claim that we DO have 4.2 in-house (running on
	about 6 machines here) plus quite a few outside. Why won't you
	let me know:
	1) The version number of your own Power 6 Unix, so I can tell you
	   if there's an update to it.
	2) What exactly makes your own machine a 'non-4.2' so I
	   can fix it asap.

	Second, your opinion that it's not a real system V did cause me
	a real dilema :-). The system 5 is in internal alpha-testing and will
	be released on June 30. Software QA is still going on on what we
	believe to be the final version. How on earth did you test it and
	came to the conclusion that system 5 fans won't like it?

	Very truly yours (though skeptical about your sources of info),
