I hate to say it -- staying compatible with 4.4 when the rest of the world has passed it buy is a mistake. > > Seriously.

Well, I've run Solaris,DC/OSx,OS/x,SVR3, SVR2, SVR0, HP-UX, Linux, SunOS and FreeBSD... I'm headed to AIX v3 and 4.x -- which I think is SVR4-ish in startup. Looks like there's more of the AT&T stuff out there than you think. My history is 8-2 not counting the AIX.
