I said "emulates". Opps! It doesn't emulate 4.x as xpg* provides a true implementation of a xpg/SUS environment. It was populated with the subset of SunOS4.x utilities that we thought would cause the most grief in transitioning to the SVr4 versions. (This is the source compatibility package. Obviously, the binary compatibility package was intended to be complete.) - jek3
