- You need to wait a bit because any answer now might be obselete
- in a short while. MWC is planning release an update to Coherent 386 any
- time now and it will include some thing not currently available. Right
- now it is missing tape support, graphics, networking, and some other
- little things. Tape support and networking are promised and I think
- they might make it into the upcoming new release. Someone at MWC has
- told me to expect some good news very soon. Oh, sockets have been
- promised too. That will allow X11 to be ported more easily (or maybe
- make it possible period). Some one is working on an X11 port too.
