Sequent Dynix did the same thing, and the ATT universe is CRIPPLED *if*
you try to use it by itself. However, I've been adding the ATT bin
directories to my UCB universe path, and this works fine for all
pre-compiled ATT universe commands - including very SysV specific things
like ipcs/ipcrm to manage shared mem. & other IPCs. The only time I need
to switch to the ATT universe (usually just by prefixing the current
command with ATT, tho' I could go interactive) is when I want 'cc' to link
in ATT libraries and include files, or I want to look at SysV versions of
the man pages. (For some reason ATT man doesn't use 'more' - it's not even
in the ATT bin directories.)
