I am trying to gauge when Sun will be releasing 4.2 as I have several boards which are OS version dependent and have to pay real money to the vendors for upgrades of their drivers when Sun releases major (and sometimes minor) OS upgrades. Has anyone heard whether Sun is planning a 4.2 release within the next several months? Thanks for any information you may have. It would help me out in planning and budgeting.

According to Sun officials at the SUG meeting in December, the next SunOS release will be an SvR4 compatible release. This will be a major release, and will be out in developer form in fall 1991, in user form winter 1991/1992. This is something like SunOS 5.0 -- thus there will be no 4.2. Your rumors may vary. I'm reporting what Sun folks said at SUG. Mike Jipping Hope College Department of Computer Science jipping@cs.hope.edu (BITNET: JIPPING@HOPE)
