hmmm, anyone who thinks that my v7 is anything like a "standard" BSD or Sys V
should think again. The only hassles i had got ironed out in the alpha test
(ie global scope on struct members & identifiers unique in first 7 bytes).
i'm VERY happy with it, and now have almost no trouble reinstalling after
updates.
i've redirected followups to news.software.b, where they really belong.
