Are you saying that the existing discussion of features & Mr. Jolitz'
description is inadequate?  If so, please do tell the whole story.  I've
heard of some additions, but nothing so earth-shattering that it couldn't
have been contributed to one of the other systems, and consequently 
cleaned and maintained properly...

From my menial little mind, your postings, all the other descriptions of
386BSD 1.0 on usenet, via email, and from magazine reviews.  At this point,
what else is there to see?

Wow, what a thought!!!  I am so thankful for your redbaiting comment;
here's my idea for the *BSD screenplay:

The Vanguard
------------
Lenin & the Bosheviks: CGD & The NetBSD Core Team
The Mensheviks:        FreeBSD Core Team (no disparagement implied)

The Regime
----------
Czar Nicolas:          Bill Jolitz
The Court Jester:      Jesus Monroy

Gotta go call my agent...  Meet me at Spago and we'll discuss royalties.

Care to document that?  How many postings over the last three years of
386BSD...?  Let's tally that up, eh?
