    Basically, SysV was Unix, before Sco or Berkeley got hold of it. I've used SVr4 and SVr5 - or, they've used me. Industrial embedded systems, which are locked down pretty tightly, to prevent really stupid situations from being created. Our systems have an odd flavor - they don't feel like any other Unix-like that I've ever meddled with. In all cases, SysV has been drastically customized for the machines on which it is installed. Strange stuff, really, but I'm sure that SysV survives outside the plastic moulding industry.

    Huh. All the plastic molding machines I've used have had various flavors of windows on them, except for the very old Maplans that we used for testing prototypes, which I have no idea about , and could have been anything.
