Well, I see people with beta-test versions, but i don't see anything about standard releases, and our salesperson has been promised it for **some time**.

Stay tuned. > >- Marc Marc, if it hasn't been released yet why am I sitting here with a Decstation 5000 and 4.0 tapes (these were shipped with the unit)? We also received a patch tape that's order number AQ-PDBTA-XE, and is titled ULTRIX/UWS 4.0 prerelease mandatory upgrade. So is this 4.0 or ALPHA ? We also received the full manual set. Todd

The DS5000 with the PX was shipped with an early version of Ultrix 4.0; you have 4.0, since the PX depended on the 4.0 release This is often called a "pre-release". However, final full release of 4.0 was held up pending resolution of a high priority SMP problem. As you are on a uni-processor, you'll never see the problem. You should expect to see a mandantory patch upgrade to bring your system up to final 4.0 SDC once the final 4.0 goes into the SDC. - Jim

Having just read what I wrote, I said it wrong. You have "real 4.0", built from the final baselevel of 4.0 (not "an early version"). You just don't have the SMP related bug fixes, that caused 4.0 to be delayed. - Jim

Is it real, or is it vaporware? I am not sure if I have the 'real' release of Ultrix, but I received some 4.0 tapes with a manual set last week. Here's the version information: ULTRIX V4.0 (Rev. 174) System #3: Fri Jul 6 08:13:54 PDT 1990 UWS V4.0 (Rev. 164) Is this field test software, or is it the 'released' 4.0? I would really like to know. Since I received bound manuals, I am under the impression that this is the official release. I hope someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

The expected FRS (First Revenue Ship) of ULTRIX 4.0 is the first week in August. It was submitted to software manufacturing this morning (7/13 -- no jokes, please :-)). The hold-up from what was expected to be a month-early ship date was do to some last minute critical bug fixes and subsequent testing. Fred Not writing officially, but this disclaimer probablyisn't worth the paper on which it is written. Which it is not...
