There is one. There is also a /usr/ucb that contains BSD-type commands on
Solaris 2.0. Sun recommend including this directory in the path AFTER
/usr/bin [which has Sys V commands] as a migration aid.

IBM, etc would all say "Don't buy UNIX, there isn't a standard one". So to
ensure that UNIX and Sun workstations were successful, Sun went an ensured
that there was a standard.
Make sense? I thought so... :-)
