One reason is that it is Which AIX? Based on IBM specs there are at least three different AIXs: AIX/370, AIX/PS-2, and AIX/RT, which are all different and none of which is Sys V Rel 2 compatible! At least AIX/370 will be compatible with BSD 4.x but may also include Sys V stuff. -- Juha Heinanen, Tampere Univ. of Technology, Finland jh@tut.fi (Internet), tut!jh (UUCP), jh@tut (Bitnet)
