[ Aren't 3.0.4 and 3.0.14 the last Balance releases?  I thought
  3.0.12 was a Symmetry release.  Or am I really confused. ]

Anyone know when the next Symmetry update is coming out?

I believe tektronix!sequent!pts works.

In Dynix C, 'private' is a reserved word.  It's used with the parallel
processing libraries.  There is another reserved word called 'shared'.
Their both added variable types.  The above example is thus equivalent

  struct foo {
    int long;
  };

I'm surprised it allows you to use 'private' as a variable name at all,
even outside a structure.  I once tried to use 'auto' as a local variable
name, and it didn't accept that.

Dynix releases as I know them...

3.0.12 for the Symmetry, and 3.0.14 for the Balance are *almost*
equivilant releases.  The differences are those needed to make 3.0.12
work on the balance.  There is also a release 3.0.15 which contains
the hard quotas which I believe we are beta testing.  I haven't yet
had a chance to bring up this release yet.

There *may* also be a release in the future which incorporates some
of the Purdue local modifications which include Dave Stevens' 4.3
Tahoe/Van Jacobsen network improvements and various other bug fixes
and 4.3 enhancements for the kernel.  Purdue has also ported/merged
many/most of the 4.3 BSD user level programs to Dynix.  In short,
the local version of Dynix is much closer to 4.3.

Dynix 3.0.12 is latest Symmetry Release.

Dynix 3.0.14 is latest Balance Release.
