More precisely, NEXTSTEP is an environment built over a Mach 2.5 kernel (or perhaps one could consider it a Mach 2.0 kernel + some Mach 2.5 extentions), which uses the Berkeley 4.3 FFS (Fast File System) as the local UFS. There is a fair analogy between NEXTSTEP/Mach and Solaris/SunOS. -Chuck Charles William Swiger - WhiteLight Systems | Vitamin L Rule #1: --------------------------------------------+ AMS & normal mail: infidel+@cmu.edu | If you "whoosh" me, I'll NeXTmail: chuck@cswiger.slip.andrew.cmu.edu | _poke_ you!
