I don't think that that is correct; SVR4 was developed with AT&T from SunOS 4.x and SVr3; the SCCS files proof that. Unfortunately, the code was copied as bare source and then check in at Sun. Solaris 2.x was clearly derived from SVr4 but a lot of changes were made. Casper _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
