A minor nit, but it seems to be a common misconception.  SunOS came from BSD,
true, but AT&T and Sun are merging their unixes.  SunOS and SVR4 are both
really SVR3 + BSD.  We have all sorts of machines around here, and I *know*
that the SunOS 4.1 I'm using has most of what I rememember from SVR2 and is
quite different from the latest 4.3BSD and also different from Ultrix 4.0, I'm
not sure if it is correct to say that SunOS 4.1 *is* SVR4, but if it isn't its
close and SunOS 4.x, x>1 probably will be.  Now if they both only had the neat
stuff out of Bell Labs research Unix, like /dev/fd and /proc...

Again: SVR4 is not you're father's System V....
