Besides the 3B's, are there any workstations that offer System 5 release 2 yet (or near future)? -- Ken Greer kg.hplabs@Rand-Relay (ARPA) kg@HP-Labs (CSNET) hplabs!kg (UUCP)

I just got back from NCC - Perkin-Elmer is making lots of noise about being
the first commercial implementation of SVR2. Whether that is true or not
is probably irrelevant - they are big, they have said it, so it is so.
Anyway, PE has SVR2, and certainly others will follow within just a few
months.
By the way, PE was giving away a car at the show, and seems to think I would
be a good throw-in as well. The car is a Pontiac Fiero; here is an excerpt
from the list of options:
....
o Luggage Carrier
o W/L Tires
o Mats
o Formula Steer Wheel
....
Just to set your minds at ease, if you happen to win this car, you will
NOT be stuck with me - they meant those things that go on the floor that
seem to share my name.
You can tell this was a crazy show.

Both the HP9000 Series 500 (proprietary 32-bit CPU) and the HP9000 Series 200 (MC68010 CPU) will have Version 5.2 library support plus a mix of 3.0 and 5.2 commands in their next release this fall. hpfcla!mike
