I received a letter from C. R. Greene of AT&T today.  Portions are listed below
(without permission):

	"In response to requests from users of UNIX* Operating Systems, the 
	American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) will license
	a new, supported UNIX Operating System - UNIX System V - early
	next year.... Source licensees will be able to obtain several levels of
	software support from AT&T including periodic releases to correct
	problems, newsletters, electronic mail to report problems, hotline
	service, consultation, and technical seminars.... Details will be 
	announced in January 1983."

The letter goes on to discuss AT&T's plan for UNIX as a machine-independant
operating system for 16-bit and 32-bit computers, etc.

Anyone else get the letter and/or have more information??  What happened to
System IV??
