UNIX@ System V Release 3.2 UNIX@ System V Release 3.0 Computer Science Math and Statistics Electrical Engineering * * * UNIX@ System V Release 4 is the result of an evolution, unification and standardization process that introduces new capabilities, improves on earlier releases of UNIX@ System V, and incorporates key features from Microsoft's XENIX@ system, Sun Microsystem's SunOS@ system, and the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) systems. Release 4 has been designed to comply with industry standards while delivering maximum portability, scalability, interoperability, and compatibility. The Release 4 documentation was created with the user in mind. The material is divided into handy reference sections which are clearly coded for easy access. Special reference charts and graphs allow users to find commands and procedures at a glance.
