Yeah, but that's an Athena-internal port using Ultrix source code, and even if you have an Ultrix (which implies a SVR2 license, which will get you 4.3BSD source, too) source license, they aren't, as I understand it, allowed to let you have their MV2000 BSD port. DECWRL ported 4.3BSD to the MV2000 and 3100, too. It's a real shame DEC was too stingy to ever contribute the needed code back to CSRG. -- Thor Lancelot Simon tls@panix.COM - What is hardest to accept about the passage of time is that the people who - - once mattered the most to us are wrapped up in parentheses. --John Irving -
