- Chris is running AT&T SysV 3.2 which already has FMLI.
- I don't know whether AT&T added FMLI only to their own product or
- whether third party vendors got it and decided to drop it,
- but it's there allright.
- And so is the system administration package based on it of course.
-
- Not 100% identical to the one in SysV 4.0 but close enough.
- So no need to move to SysV 4.0 just to get FMLI.

- Paul.
