Worst than that!  The Unix PC is SVR1.? version 3 with Berkleyism (thank 
goodness).  Berkley doesn't have shared libraries that I know of.  From
what AT&T has told me the Unix PC is closer to SVR3 and is move in that
direction.   

Software wise the Unix PC is a fairly sound system, but the hardware is 
a piece of junk.  I had a problem with the monitor, system board and 
power supply. They never did fixed the monitor!  I kept calling and they 
stalled until it was out of warranty.  They even close the ticket twice 
without me every seeing a tech.
