Despite your horrible grammer, I'll answer:
o Novell
o Caldera
o Red Hat
o Walnut Creek
o Debian
o Digital
o OSF
o Apple
o Microsoft
o Japan Computer Corp
o IBM
o Motorolla
o Intel
o All UNIX vendors other than Sun (if you count "System V"
as requiring SVID conformance -- READ SVID III about
gettimeofday(RT), select(RT), getitimer(RT), and
setitimer(RT). Pay attention to "system clock frequency"
vs. "system clock update frequency". USL UNIX does not
conform to SVID. It is not "System V").
If you must engage us in a battle of wits, arm yourself.
