the software that ATT sends out for 630's running on 4.3 based machines was
designed to run on generic 4.3 machines without kernel mods. So far it
seems to run with only a recompile on systems with 4.3 tty_pty.c. It is
not a "version" of the sytem V source, but supports the same set of
utilities with as few changes as possible. Only programs that were on
the system V distribution are on the tape (except for a 4.3 version
of the libwindows software: layers, libwindows.a ....). The quality of
software in the 630 release is much higher than the old 5620 DMD software
was.
