| I just recalled another way of dealing with that. Does anybody
remember
| good ol' days when some vendors had so called `universes' in their
UNIX
| system? The user could change between them by universe(1):
|
| universe att
|
| or
|
| universe bsd
|
| or (on Siemens systems)
|
| universe sie
|
| which started a new shell in the corresponding universe. So we define
|
| universe lin
|
| and
|
| universe cyg
|
| and all our problems will disappear at once! :-)
