Your implication in the statement
"Irix is SysV, with some BSD compatability bits retained"
is that System V and BSD are seperate entities, and that therefore
Irix is not BSD-derived code.
My statement is merely a refutation of that.
System V is BSD derived code. Irix is System V derived code. Ergo,
Irix is BSD derived code.
