UTS/V, the new product, is System V Release 2 compatable. Everything
in sections 2 and 3 is implimented (including curses and the other
external libraries).
We have added some of the features of 4.1 BSD: vfork, ftime, dup2,
the dbm(3X) library, among them. The 4.2 BSD directory compatibility
routines are included as part of the sendmail code. (Yes, we have
sendmail, too, as well as the C shell).
Yes, it runs on top of (or "under") VM, and has facilities for
interacting with other virtual machines, particularly other
UTS's.
I will be sending the official product announcment for posting
in mod.unix soon; stay tuned!
