Well that's a responsible attitude.  Come on guys, if it doesn't work on
your machine, lets fix it.  That's what other vendors have to do, and I
can't believe it's that hard.  We have enough standards already without
implementing new ones because a single vendor doesn't like it.  I have
customers who use timed.  I'm supposed to tell them to change?  Because
Sun's not happy?  Timed is functional and it's an established standard --
maybe not the best, but it works TODAY on FPS machines, and DEC machines,
and probably lots of others.
