its simply cause my expirience is that those things that were present
in v6 still work on what unix variant soever.  this very year i had to port
software to computers which did not handle struct assignements, bitfields
and void pointers.

i'm afraid our customers dont like me to tell them, well, go get your
svr2 emulation and call me again!

ps: no we dont have customers running 6th edition...
