- For me, the big problem I had with 4.0.3 is Panic E traps every two days

- Partial list from the ESIX System V Release 4.0.4 Technical Overview
- 1. System installation simplified
- 2. BCS II makes it possible to run apps designed for SCO Unix 3.2.
- 3. New version of PCI(tm) for networking with DOS systems
- 4. GUI includes OPENLOOK(tm) and MOTIF(tm) tool kits
- 5. Man pages included
- 6. SLIP
- 7. VFS (Virtual File System) - a third generation file system
- switch architecture
- 8. Virtual memory management based on SunOS

-
- New Question : What still doesn't work?
-
- 1. Can't print on the Unix laser printer from a Sparc IPX. The remote
- lp just does not seem to work.
-
- 2. ttymon still does not work reliabily. Does work at all with
- ttydefs file as shipped.
