As far as I know, "streams" are not yet implemented in any SV release.
They should be in forthcoming SV R3.0 which has been announced for
April 86. Dennis Ritchie wrote a paper on this subject in Bell Technical
book (issued October 84) - a special UNIX issue again! -. There is
also some papers published by /usr/group about communication facilities
which talk (vaguely) about streams (Dave Olander's paper).
An other rumor is also saying that streams would be part of 4.4BSD
system... BUT THGIS IS ONLY A RUMOR!! If anybody has got some more info
on this lattest point, I would appreciate a "More about... " mail.
Thanks.
