1/3/96  Welcome to Soda mk IV.  As this is an entirely new machine, and
        a new operating system, there are going to be problems.  Please
        be patient, we (root) are doing our best to isolate and correct
        problems that arise.  Mail is being delivered but is not all
        here yet.  Some home directories are not online yet; unlike old
        soda, if your home directory is offline, you will not be able
        to log in.  home directories should all be fixed within a couple
        days.

        soda IV runs DYNIX/PTX 4.0.1.  This is a SysV based operating system.
        That means that MANY COMMANDS WORK DIFFERENTLY; read the man
        pages for descriptions of the new options (particularly to ls and ps).
        Some BSD-ish commands are in /usr/ucb, some are in /usr/local/bin.
        For BSD-ish tty behavior, you'll want to add the following lines
        to your .cshrc:
        stty erase ^H
        stty kill ^U
        stty intr ^C
        (and maybe more).
        There is a lot of software which has not yet been compiled. DO NOT
        MAIL ROOT ASKING WHEN ICB (OR ANYTHING ELSE) WILL BE COMPILED.
        If you want it, get the source off the net and compile it.

        MAILING LISTS: Due to permissions problems, you probably don't
        own the /usr/lib/aliases.include/list file for your mailing lists
        (if you have any).  Mail root and we'll fix it.
