- Just a few questions regarding Ultrix 4.3:
-
- 1. When is it due? I heard Fall '92 -- North American Fall? :-)
- 2. What version of X11/Motif? will be shipped? Someone PLEASE say X11R5!
- 3. Is there any work planned on DEC's GUI sysadmin tool, SCAMP?
- 4. Any major changes from Ultrix 4.2C? (Vixie cron! BIND 4.9?)
- 5. How long does anyone expect Ultrix 4.3 to be around? Should I be
- expecting an Ultrix 4.3[A-Z] scenario, followed by 4.3-Ken?
- 6. What is the migration strategy like for someone who wants to
- perform a gradual upgrade to OSF/1 on the Alpha? From what I
- gather, the Alpha implementation of OSF/1 will be shipping before
- the MIPS version? Simultaneous OS/hardware migration is "bad".
- 7. Will there be different versions of the OS for the various
- architectures (R3000, R4000, VAX)?
- 8. Is it being beta-tested at this time?
- 9. Are there any plans to ship an ANSI C compiler?
-
- No, I'm not asking any DEC people or others with non-disclosure
- agreements to start divulging confidential information. I simply
- want an idea of what I'm likely to be seeing over the next few months,
- so I can help my users and help in formulating purchasing strategies.
