Let's also emphasize that if IBM had shipped every RT with 4.3BSD,
the marketplace would be a whole lot more favorable towards the RT.
OK, so there'd be some bitching about the C compiler, but there would
also be a whole lot more pressure coming from IBM to Metaware to get
a compiler which is bug-free.  4.3BSD for the RT is  mostly a "no-surprises"
environment which integrates well into a network of Suns and VAXes
running Berkeley UNIX.
