   Are you sure that sun is planning on doing this? When?

Well, the Sun sales guy says version 4.1 of SunOS is going to be SysVR4.

   Someone will have to write a COFF (or maybe ELF) linker.

I assume that Sun will be shipping one.  I'm told that the object
format is ELF, althouth ELF still isn't fully defined. (!)

   I wish that the OSF and Unix International could get it
   together and choose a common object format.

Yeah, it'd be nice.
