	Gould has taken upon itself to replace several routines in LIBC
	with AT&T code that works differently.  There are 35 routines that
	are affected.  If Gould would actually just stick to porting the
	code rather than improving it and sticking in copyright notices
	this product might be usable.

On the other hand, have you ever tried to do any serious work
with the 4.2 make?  It's a joke.

All in all, while I do not press the esoteric corners of the software,
I find I prefer having BSD with some System V stuff to both pure
4.2 or System V (which I use with equal frequency).  Now if only
the damn terminal drivers wouldn't hang every 15 minutes.
