It was certainly that way with 386BSD. Jolitz released 0.0, and a lot of us made improvements. Then he released 0.1, with none of our improvements at all in it. We pulled up all our fixes, and made more. Then he released 0.2, still with nothing from the net included. That's when NetBSD was born. (FreeBSD forked off later, due to disagreements over whether to concentrate on Intel processors (the FreeBSD crowd), or stick to the multi-platform approach (NetBSD).) -tih -- Self documenting code isn't. User application constraints don't. --Ed Prochak
