Re: No option -p for make?

Because, it's Berkeley not UNIX ;-)

Before, Berkeley and UNIX got together, that's not that, much, that's  
great
about UNIX.  NO TCP/IP, and a line editor as the STANDARD editor.  
"Neat-oh,
so you don't have to enter your scripts into the system with a punch  
card reader"
is what, I feel most people in software development should think at  
the time.

Before POSIX, and X/OPEN, etc, UNIX vendors would "copy in" Bell's  
"Sys Five"
features with their own little nuances, and 'creature features'.

Also, (remembering from college), it's important to known the level
(of "POE 6" ) when talking about posix.  So, what level is that?
The important level is the one that was the invite to the world, to look
at this stuff, ESP. after that pointless and unnecessarily long law  
suit.
And, yes, it's the one Microsoft took interest in.
IMO
