I have worked with STREAMS on a >M68K port of R3 that predates the release of 3.2. I worked on V.3.0 using 3b2 and 386 source releases. Both included STREAMS. (The hardware we put it on didn't have any non-STREAMS tty drivers.) Some of the stuff was pretty flakey (ldterm was called something else and wasn't very good) but STREAMS itself was certainly there. >If I remember correctly, the 3.2 release was for the i386 only anyway. >Atleast, that was what I read from the announcement. There was a 3.1 release on 3b2 only, no 386 version, we did our own port. I don't remember if there was a 3.2 on 3b2. Too long ago :-( -Malcolm
