DEC is dropping support for BSD all together soon.  OSF/1 is their major
priority right now.  We were told that even bug fixes for ULTRIX are being
weighted as to importance.  For example:  "The first that you will see of
shared libraries will be in OSF/1."

The time table for OSF/1 was stated as "Some time this year."
