Solaris was Sys Vr4 [...]. Both the kernel and user space went to a
Sys V compat system, it no longer felt anything like BSD.
I find it kinda weird, considering what Bill Joy did for BSD and,
obviously, for Sun. I wonder what he himself thinks about it. Shout out
to Bill if he reads the list.
Also, I'm using the original vi (ex-vi that is from Heirloom), not nvi,
as my development platform. Another weird thing: his original vi never
made it to any BSD distribution.
