- The loss of the compiler isn't a reason for people to whine about SV vs.
- BSD; it's a reason to complain about the lack of a compiler.

- environment" that you lose by going from SunOS 4.x to SunOS 5.x, and
- that can properly be blamed on SVR4? (No comments from people who've

- releases, please.)
