	Which features of UNIX 4.2 BSD do you find convenient?
	Which features of UNIX 4.2 BSD do you find necessary?
	Examples are:

	*	SIGSTOP and csh job control.
	*	Socket interface to networks and local processes.
	*	Select() system call
	*	Wait3() system call ( non-blocked child status collection )
	*	Wait3() system call ( child resource utilization info )
	*	SIGTTIN, SIGTTOUT, SIGIO
	*	Fast file system
	*	Other?

	Besides the lack of the above, is there anything you
	cannot abide in the V.2.2 version of UNIX?
				Thanks,  Joe
