There was no Berkeley release that was a "relerease of Net/2". Yep, I know -- see "Typos" above. >PCC and lint shared about 10,000 lines of code.

Well, if everybody likes prototypes better than lint, then I guess I'll abandon my quest for a PD lint... personally, I'm still going to use it on my stuff when I can (with a source license, there's not much problem getting it to run most places as long as the hardware is licensed).
