Did 4.0 BSD ship reporting itself as 4.1? I guess there > is the possibility that the kernel may include patches to bring it up to > 4.1? Interesting. I've taken a look at the sources from the CD set and found that the text there (in /usr/src/sys/sys/machdep.c) is the same as above. Looking further, the entire directory has the same files in 4.0 and 4.1, with the same modification dates. So it looks as the 4.0 sources accidentally got replaced by the 4.1 sources. > Does anyone have tape dumps of 4.0 & 4.1 ...? mckusick might. I'm copying him.
