    If it was there, I didn't see it.

    You left one out - Standard shell is to be ksh!  HOORAY!

    I wouldn't look for this product anytime soon.  Interactive plans a
    new release though - Release 2.2.  This WON'T be ATT V.4, but an
    interim release.  I couldn't get anyone to tell me the reason for
    the release or what all it will contain.  Interactive's V.4 package
    will be labelled 486/ix unless they change their minds.  NOTE - the
    486 is to refer to release V.4 and not the 486 chip!

    I look for them to change their minds regarding this confusing 
    labelling!
