- Or he might have decied to wait until the USL vs BSDI/CSRG/UCR suit is over
- before he does any more work on it.
-
- From posting: <dillon.0l2t@overload.Berkeley.CA.US> in comp.unix.amiga
- I *was* porting 4.4 but have been too busy to do anything real. Then,
- AT&T sued U.C. Berkeley over the networking I and II releases, so now
- there is a question as to whether it will ever happened. If it does
- ever happen it will NOT support concurrent AmigaDOS operation.
-
- You might want to start sending hate mail to AT&T, this is worse then
- the X-windows flop.
-
- I would also suggest sending letters to the regents of the U.C.
- system encouraging them to fight the suit instead of giving in the
- AT&T's ridiculous demands.
