- While any new applications should code using the POSIX line
- disciplines, it would be nice to keep the other disciplines for porting
- reasons...
-
- Is the multiple-flavor (BSD, SYSV, POSIX) support confusing customers?
- Why would added functionality be dropped? One of the nice things about
- AIX (and a good selling point) is that it is a very nice integration
- of the major flavors of Unix, rather than just a mish-mash of parts of
- each (like SVR4 is).
-
- I've got an SVR4 machine at home, but I'd much rather port stuff to
- AIX, as AIX really supports both BSD and SYSV, while SVR4 is neither
- BSD nor SYSV(R3).
