    Now, to defend myself a bit, why do you people want Sys Vr4, anyway?  I'm
    definitely waiting maybe 6 mos. or so until a few of the bugs are worked
    out.  (Maybe ESIX will release a product around then...)

File names longer than 14 characters, symbolic links, job control -- all in
one package.  Better (faster) paging/swapping will also be appreciated.

I use BSD derived UNIX at work and System V at home.  System V release 4
should give me the best of both (but I'll not believe it until I see it).
