	Microport's System V is NOT!! the version sold by AT&T for
the 6300 Plus.  But since Microport did their work from the Intel
port of vanilla SysV for the '286 commissioned by AT&T, utilities 
are compatible between the two.  Microport's kernel won't run on 
the 6300 Plus due to its incomplete AT compatibility.
