- Speaking of DEC, how much more like SV than Ultrix is their OSF/1
- release? I had the general impression that the OSF/1 programming
- interface generally went the SV way in those cases where you have to
- choose (as opposed to, say, "sockets vs. STREAMS/TLI", where they could
- offer both, just as SVR4 does), and that the administrative utilities,
- or at least some of them (e.g., "init"), were SVR2-flavor or
- SVR3-flavor?
-
- (IBM, HP, and SGI have, I think, already chosen the SV way in most of
- the cases where you have to choose....)
