-
- Actually, he said he wanted "BSD features", which *doesn't* necessarily
- rule out SVR4. SVR4 may have the BSD features he wants, or it may not;
- he didn't enumerate which features he wanted.
-
- Now, if he wants cheap source, or if he wants something that looks
- *exactly* like BSD, that *does* rule out SVR4. (Then again, for
- sufficient values of "looks exactly like BSD", it potentially rules out
- 386BSD and BSD/386, as well - i.e., if he really wants a "traditional"
- BSD system without of the SVisms that got into POSIX and that Berkeley's
- picking up, 386BSD and BSD/386 may not be what he wants.)
