- My reading is that V.4.2 is another V.4 release available to anyone,
- and Solaris is a proprietary SunSoft derivative of an earlier version of
- V.4.x. I would expect to see VAX V.4.2, and 88000, and i860, etc, but
- not Solaris. Note that I don't have any non-d info on this or I couldn't
- say anything, and I'm just guessing.

- Based on specs I think V.4.2 looks better on paper, but my grandmother
- used to say "paper ist geduldich" ("the paper holds still" by here
- translation).
