 Two  printed reference materials that are very good:

   White Paper: 
      "UNIX  System  V  and  BSD4.2  Compatibility Study",
      Joseph Uniejewski, Apollo Computer Inc., March 1985.

   Magazine: 
      "No  Longer  An  Outcast",  Jonathan Cohler, Digital
      Review, January 1985.


 There  is  also a book out but I don't remember the title
 (although "Portability" is part of it, I think).  Several
 UNIX and  C  programming  books  make  brief  mention  of
 differences  (like  Marc  Rochkind's  book "Advanced UNIX
 Programming").
