I have a DECstation 3100 (RISC machine) running Ultrix 3.0. I read in some of the trade rags that DEC was supposed to be shipping 3.1 by the end of last month, but my salesperson doesn't know anything about it. Does anyone have this release? Has anyone heard anything about it? Post if you think others are interested, or send email to apple.com!mas1!condor. Thanks, Rick

Has anyone heard anything > about it? An intersting question. When I talked to the support center people about my security problem, they indicated that the problem was fixed in 3.1 and that 3.1 would be "out" in June. It surely hasn't arrived here yet, neither has the SPD shown up on DSIN, which usually preceeds by a considerable margin the actual arrival of release tapes... People within DEC apparently have received 3.1, I don't know if anyone in outside world has yet. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)

Our three DECStation 3100's arrived today; among the other things that arrived with them were two TK50 tapes labeled as U-32 V3.1/UWS V2.1 (VAX) UPD and U-32 V3.1/UWS V2.1 (RISC) UPD (part numbers AQ-NJ45A-BE and AQ-NJ46A-BE respectively). [Mind you, since we currently don't have a system running 3.0 yet, maybe this doesn't count as "received" :-)] -- "I shall clasp my hands together and bow to the corners of the world."

From some of the postings I have seen in this newsgroup, it appears that some people outside of DEC do have it. They may just be beta sites or DEC is shipping it with new systems and those of us with support contracts will have to wait. The only reason I posted this is that bitching in public will guarantee that there will be an update kit sitting in my office tomorrow. :-) -- David White Grass Valley Group, Inc.

ULTRIX 3.1 came with our new DECstation 3100 (it arrived about ten days ago). I installed the supported and unsupported subsets from UWS 2.0 and then added the 3.1 subsets. Here are the numbers off of the 3.1 (UWS 2.1) tk50: AQ-NJ46A-BE 000MRS2496 U-32 V3.1/UWS V2.1 (RISC) UPD thanks, Doug Gullett University of NC at Charlotte uunet!mcnc!unccvax!wdg

I post my tale of woe and misery yesterday and today the tape shows up in the mail room. I don't know if there's any causuality involved or if DEC simply has my patience tuned to a T! 8-) -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
