BSD 2.10 was released concurrently with BSD 4.3, and tracks its features
insofar as such is possible on a PDP-11.

Speaking of BSD...

I have heard that Berkeley is taking the time to divide the BSD sources into
the part that requires an AT&T license and the part that doesn't.  Which
side will the Pascal compiler fall on?

Also, back when ncoast was a Model 16 with a pitifully small hard drive (I
often found my home directory to be on a mounted floppy!) one of the first
generation ncoast hackers told me about Berkeley Pascal.  One of the things
he said to me was that it required a modified yacc.  Is that so?  Is there a
version that doesn't, or a way to change it so it doesn't, or a way for a
non-source-licensed site to bring up the modified yacc?  (This entire
paragraph is irrelevant if the Pascal compiler turns out to have AT&T code
in it.)
