This net never ceases to amaze me. Such wholesale quantities of conjecture for
such a trifling investment in fact. :-(
Truscott 4.2BSD has the P_ZERO, P_ONE, P_EVEN, P_ODD arguments, and of course
so does 4.3BSD. Neither version of v7 does, nor does any System V version, nor
does SunOS. Xenix may well, although if it does then this was added by Micro-
soft, since they were starting with the System VR2.2 VAX version.
