- I have Esix 4.0.3a. It came with a nice utility called truss,
- located in /usr/bin. I thought this was part of the standard
- USL source release of SVR4. However, our company just got in SVR4
- from Harris (running on a Night Hawk 4400) and truss is not on the
- system. Does anyone know the origin of the truss utility (i.e., is
- it from Sun or made just for the i386/i486 platform of Unices?). Thanks
- for the info!

- Truss *is* wonderful, isn't it?

- I think it was written at AT&T. There are internal AT&T versions of
- truss and /proc for 3B2 and 6386 machines running SVR3. I tried to
- get in touch with the author a while back, because of a bug. As I
- recall, he had left for another company.
