Ok, I have asked all the System V guru's I know. (Even tried
AT&T :-) and have got nowhere. So perhaps the net can help.
Can anybody provide a list (succinct if possible) of the major
changes introduced with System V 3.1,3.2 etc. A reference to a
suitable source would also be useful.
Frequently we (a computer vendor) respond to tenders that call
for say System V 3.3. In one case the tender asked for 3.3 only
weeks after AT&T announced it.
In many cases the customer simply wants the latest and greatest
of whatever... In other cases they do have a need for specific
features that may have been introduced with a particular
release. (Ok, most clever software writers try and avoid such
release dependance but...).
My company sells a Unix derrived from Sys V 3.1, with
enhancements such as FFS from BSD etc etc. It may well be the
case that our Unix does indeed provide the feature that the
customer want's - but without a list of the differences between
releases we don't know.
Thank you (in advance :-)
