4.4 BSD was discussed here a while ago......... Recently announced in comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes was the release of 4.3BSD-Reno, which is a pre-release version of much of 4.4 BSD. A 4.3BSD license is still required (and thus an AT&T license). The posting in comp.bugs.4bsd.ucb-fixes says that they hope to release the AT&T-free code at a later date, but they say they will not as yet put a date on that. So, 4.4 BSD looks very nice, but at the moment to get the whole thing you need a 4.3BSD license. Not very useful for most of the PC532'ers, unless someone out there has such a license along with binary redistribution rights... Go read the posting, it's got a lot of detail about the new OS, with OSI networking and other goodies. If you can't get to the newsgroup, give a yell here and someone will mail it to you (you'd be better off asking a local rather than me, but I can mail you a copy from Australia if you really want :-). ___________________________________________________________________________ David Burren (Athos), ACSnet: athos%eyrie@labtam.oz.au img Consultants, G.P.O.
