      This doesn't really say much.  Note that AT&T is not committing to much
of anything; in particular, there is no commitment from AT&T to support NFS.
Nor are dates specified for any of AT&T's commitments.  Most of the things 
Sun is committing to are things they have done already (such as making NFS 
available to OEMs under a licencing arrangement) or have to do to remain
competitive (support the base system V application interface).
      Also, note that there is no commitment on either side that
there will be any convergence on window management or graphics standards.
This is unfortunate; the workstation industry, both users and applications 
software vendors, needs such standards badly.
