Hmm. Just wondering... a quick poll on as many machines as i could get my hands on yielded: j@snaily 109% uname -sr UNIX_SV 4.2 j@snaily 110% date Sam Nov 30 06:44:23 MEZ 1996 j@blue 649% uname -sr AIX 2 j@blue 650% date Sa 30 Nov 08:26:41 1996 j@sol 1% uname -sr SunOS 5.3 j@sol 2% date Samstag, 30. November 1996, 08:44:24 Uhr MET j@vzentr 9% uname -sr HP-UX B.10.00 j@vzentr 10% date Sa., 30. Nov. 1996, 08:41:40 Not a single system uses the same as another one. :-O What do the other German folks think? I'm leaning towards either the SVR4 or the HP/UX approach. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
