The main reason that FreeBSD is keeping SYSV ipc is for iBCS2 compatibility. We will initially be using the NetBSD shared mem (I think), and perhaps re-implement it later. It is very important. Also, I'll bet that there are programmers out there who are used to SYSV ipc -- why not give it to them. John dyson@implode.root.com
