BSD = Berkeley Software/System Distro. iBCS = Intel Binary Compatibility Standard. iBCS2 = iBCS v2. Not the same thing or even related.

- macdice 4y ago... but the BSDs did have support for SystemV binaries, through modules compat_svr4 and compat_ibcs2, so the grand parent comment made perfect sense to me. Not sure why there were two and I don't plan to go down that rabbit hole today, but perhaps due to SVR4 vs SVR3 differences, and ELF vs COFF, shrug.
- lproven 4y agoFair point! I am not so familiar with them, but I am sure you're right.
