Pyramid system design

[Mark Wallen]

I can think of two other reasons why Pyramid may have chosen
to implement two complete sets of utilities (i.e., 4.2 ones and
sysV ones).  The first is the porting cost; if you REALLY have
a sysV system, why screw around with a 4.2 utility?  Just bring
up the sysV one.  And visa versa.  The second is a little
recursive, but: what better way to test a sysV port that to bring
up (by simply compiling) it's idiosyncratic utilites (e.g., uucp);
if they work, you have a sysV port.  If not, ???
