I was actually commending IBM/AIX on its good taste in choice of source bits (i.e. ours and NetBSD's) and actually acknowledging that (by not removing the RCS id lines). If it weren't for the funky executable/shared-library format and toolchain, I'd actually like it a lot (where did it get that from? OS/2--AFAIR OS/2 had DLL's before AIX got them). /Marino > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------- > ------ > Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or > data > chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and > Unix. > 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | > Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) > (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------- > ------ > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
