Okay, why? To me, BSD 4.4 is a 'type' of UN*X. There are many specific releases that conform to it (FreeBSD, NetBSD, BSDI(?)). If O'Reilly called the manuals "FreeBSD" they would be using an element of the set instead of the name of the set itself. To me that sounds like a logical fallacy. Do you have a problem with the fact that FreeBSD is a member of the BSD 4.4 family? t. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Porczyk * tporczyk@netcom.com * home page under construction GCS/ED/B d++ H- s++:+ !g p? a? w+ v++(---) C++ UL++++$ P+ L++$ 3+ E--- N++ W-- M- po---(+) Y+ t+@ 5-- R- D- !e>e+ u*(---) h* f+ r+++(*)+++(*)> -----------------------------------------------------------------------
