- They always tell you, that SYSVR4 gonna change the world ... ;-)
-
- Well, SYSVR4 is kinda BSD. Remember that SYSVR4 = SYSVR3 + SUNOS,
- and SUNOS is a BSD descendant. So a lot of the BSD features made
- it into R4, like job-control, UFS, symbolic links, the directory
- structure.
-
- POSIX is partly SYSV-oriented, but also introduced it's own API:
- POSIX job-control, termios, signal handling. (Signal handling BTW
- is BSD-oriented in POSIX)
