Wonderful.  I'll believe in V.3 when Plexus offers me it.  We do seem to have
another 4.3BSD on our hands (at least THAT actually got released eventually...)

P.S.  Anyone out there heard if Plexus is going to include sdb in their sys5?
How about sxt's?  I was promised both in sys5 1.4, and got neither...
