I've been reading through my copy of the UNIX System V Release 3.0
documentation, and I'm impressed.  AT&T has improved the quality
of the documentation and, so far as I can tell without getting my
hands on it, the software over previous releases of UNIX.  For
example, I was worried that they were going to break the "getopt"
utility in order to support the new command syntax standard, but
instead they gave the new version a new name ("getopts") and have
continued the old version for one release cycle, as a transition
aid.  (There's also a conversion command /usr/lib/getoptcvt!)

If this keeps up, UNIX may actually survive commercialization.
