I suspect a Streams implementation for 386BSD 0.1 patchkit 2 would be relatively useless, especially one that relies on unaltered LKM code and has no streams modules that are not ported from SVR4 by students. For instance. I also suspect that a shared library implementation based on the Sun code that was OK/wasn't OK/is OK because 4.4 has been released, has already rotted away. Like I said, I'm gonna need some time to sort the code, at the very best, and port it to some live OS somewhere, at the very worst. I will send Paul a list. The code is spread over 5 gig of disk at three sites and 8 more gig of tape at two.
