    Perkin-Elmer has definitely *not* released SysV.2, no matter
what they say at NCC.  The latest guess I heard was they were going
to release it in October, maybe.

    We are a P-E site, and I find it amusing to hear such claims
from their marketing people.  I have my doubts about that, since
in the 18 months we've been using P-E Unix (TM), we've yet to get
a working "awk".  Their latest version of awk can't add two floating-
point numbers.  And don't ask if sh -c works, either.

    They have SVR2 now . . . right.
