The FreeBSD core team would like to conduct a poll about the use of sysv and ibcs emulations. If you are presently using the sysv emulation , please send a description of your usage (what applications, how many users, etc) to: imp+sysv@bsdimp.com If you are presently using the ibcs emulation, please send a description of your usage (what applications, how many users, etc) to: imp+ibcs@bsdimp.com I'll summarize the usage levels in a report to core@ and will pass along a copy to whomever desires to see it. There is currently a discussion about these emulators in current@. Interested parties are invited to read that thread and comment as appropriate. It would be better to have one thread there than a thread here and a thread there. Thanks for your feedback. Warner
