   Thanks for reassuring me! I have always been sure that 4.3BSD and Ultrix
don't use shared libs, but so many things that I have always believed are
turning out to be not true that I don't know what to believe any more.

   THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your support! I am so pleased to see someone who
is not hung up on NetBSD!

   If you want it to happen, help me get a copy of Berkeley UNIX(R)! I need
4.3BSD-Tahoe and 4.3BSD-Reno at the minimum, but 4.3BSD and 4.4BSD would
also help. I will soon announce the results of my negotiations with SCO,
but in any case it's absolutely legal for me to possess a copy of Berkeley
UNIX(R) since I have a UNIX(R) source license (which has actually been used
already to get copies of BSD in the past).
   
   Sincerely,
