Surprise!  *ALL* UNIX systems are based on Bell; if they're not, they're
UNIX-compatible but aren't UNIX systems.  4.xBSD is based on UNIX/32V, which
was a Bell release; you need a license from Bell to run 4.xBSD.  UNIX/32V,
in turn, was a VAX port of V7.  *V7*, not any Berkeley release, introduced
CBREAK.

While we're at it, could we please send discussions of source to
"net.sources.bugs"?  It's easy to reroute discussions; your news poster
should throw you into an editor, with the header lines in the file being
edited.  Just change "net.sources" to "net.sources.bugs" in the "Newsgroups:"
line.  Even better, put

	Followup-To: net.sources.bugs

in all "net.sources" postings.  That way, all followups (except those posted
by obsolete news software which should be replaced) will go to
"net.sources.bugs".
