Ummm, I don't know about BSD being CLEANER, just first... I
think non-english speaking UNIX people might have a problem
with BSD as well. And it would take a REAL good argument to
convince me that BSD sockets and Co. is cleaner than STREAMS
and TLI or as flexible when it comes to code using multiple
network types dynamically without recompilation.
I grant youthat MOST network code is written to the BSD socket
model and has a bent toward BSD OS model because BSD had
good OS extentions before SV. I think it's QUITE a bit of a stretch
to call BSD cleaner than R4 tho.
Flames and religeous wars to e-mail, c.u.a doesn't need
religous wars filling it's bandwidth...
