	[ ... A list of BSD contributions ... ]

	[ ... a list of equivalent BTL modules ... ]

Summarizing:

	BSD				BTL

	paging				paging
	FFS				BITFS
	jobcontrol			xt
	csh				rc
	sockets				streams
	vi				sam
	curses				[unnecessary: blit]
	termcap				[unnecessary: blit]
	sendmail			upas
	dbx				pi

There are two interesting aspects to all this:

* The BSD material has been almost completely copied into the USL product,
  and (perhaps regrettably) virtually none of the BTL stuff has.

* The BSD technology on average was developed a few years before the
  equivalent BTL.
