Let me give acknowledgment to Greg Lehey ahead of time for this as this bit that follows comes from _The Complete FreeBSD_. ".. by the mid-80s, there were four different versions of UNIX: the Research Version ... the Berkeley Software Distribution ... System V ... and XENIX, " Sorry for omitting parts, but the overall idea of the passage remains intact. I believe, and someone correct me here, that BSD was a modification of the /original/ UNIX code which existed prior to Sys V in 1983, indicating that BSD and Sys V are different branches from the same trunk. The history is rather confusing though, so I expect to be wrong on this. -- Todd Stephens "Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws." - Plato _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
