Well, sorta.  Microport is offering the straight poop developers systems
with *no* enhancements from AT&T.  It's just like some other Intel Unix
vendors 4.0's right now.  The package release is designed to give 4.0 Unix
to those that absolutely, positively hafta have it now.  Joe User, like
myself, would not be pleased with this bare bones release.

As I said, there will be no 3.2 from Microport.  Now they are projecting
the normal 4.0 full featured release sometime in the late fall.  I already
placed my order today.  (its about time :-)
