I suspect the difference is the unix distribution includes support for such important systems as sgi and beos

(Of course, we all know UNIX source is for unix-like platform and WIN is for WIndows.) I want to know why it has to be distributed into those two platform package, what's different, detail, in program code or something ... Any one can answer ? or any where the documents about it is ? Thanks for your help.
