*cough* *choke* *hack*

   SunOS is BSD-based. All flavors of Unix for the IBM architecture that
I am aware of are System V-based, except for the very recent port of BSD
itself. BSD and SysV are NOT the same; they are gradually merging, but
there are still major differences between the installed base of the BSD
and SysV camps.

   There have also been numerous reports that Unixes with major proprietary
extensions (such as A/UX, although I am not sure than any of the reports
have been about A/UX specifically) have peculiar problems, including the
possibility of being incompatible with *both* BSD and SysV source without
major changes.

   Not all Unixes are created equal.
