Hmm.  Just wondering... a quick poll on as many machines as i could
get my hands on yielded:

j@snaily 109% uname -sr
UNIX_SV 4.2
j@snaily 110% date
Sam Nov 30 06:44:23 MEZ 1996

j@blue 649% uname -sr
AIX 2
j@blue 650% date
Sa 30 Nov 08:26:41 1996

j@sol 1% uname -sr
SunOS 5.3
j@sol 2% date

j@vzentr 9% uname -sr
HP-UX B.10.00
j@vzentr 10% date

Not a single system uses the same as another one. :-O

What do the other German folks think?  I'm leaning towards either the
SVR4 or the HP/UX approach.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
