I think since older versions :)
Right. I guess that in my mind 1.0 was the first official "release". I'll
update it to 0.01.
That kind of raises the question of just what since-version means.  The
version-0.01 (or 1.0) version of open() surely didn't do everything
described in this specification.  So it's saying that some version of
the system call has existed since then?

Thanks,
