Scuze me if this sounds rude, but it seems to me that *NOBODY* answered the
poster's original question!!!  I assume that anyone capable of posting to
Usenet can figure out that 9 > 8.  The question is -- for those of us not
privy to doings inside of AT&T research organizations -- what *INTERESTING
STUFF* is there in the 9th edition that wasn't in the 8th edition???  My
understanding is that the 8th edition brought a boatload of innovations:
e.g. STREAMS, /proc, the ancestor of the File System Switch, etc.  But I've
never read an explanation of what new things came along in the 9th edition.

Can one of you AT&T folks *please* elucidate??
