Thanks a lot, smartass. I thought you'd forsworn your past?
Cool off for a while, take a vacation or something.

FYI uw requires functionality along the lines of psuedo-ttys, so
you'll find that a port of uw is impossible to any version of
System V older than System V.4 (which incorporates the full tty-extension
of streams).

And people wonder how anyone could possibly regard BSD Unix as superior
to AT&T Unix. System III/V: Blech. Almost as bad as Xenix. (Xenix being
a variant on System III/V with features lobotomized and many bugs added.)
