- The same as in Germany, currently. But I talked to the Unix guy of Atari Germany
- at Atari fair who told me, that "...the official release will be available soon."
- Whatever that means. They told about the same last year!
- I can only recommend to keep your hands of ASV. It will not be supported by Atari
- any longer, they came (inofficial rumours!) to the conclusion that Unix is not
- Atari's market, so ASV is sort of a dead born child.

- If you drop Xwindows you are able to use TT med. There's a commercial X driver
- for color VGA TT, but it is included in a complete X server software set, and
- they have not made any calculations about selling the screen driver stand alone yet.
- The complete package would increase your price for several hunderd bucks...
-
- But there's good news, too: Minix TT will (really!) be available soon. I think this
- could be a much better solution for the TT than ASV.

- Regards, Markus.
