After several postings extolling the virtues of Sys V/AT 2.3.1 I called Microport Tech support today to find out how to obtain this release, since my company has an upgrade contract. I was told that 2.3.1 is a beta release only, and that the next release available to the general user public would be 2.4, due in August (which probably means it will really be available sometime in September or later). So: I would like to know what's going on. Those of you who posted your experiences with 2.3.1, do you really have some kind of special arrangement with Uport which qualifies you for pre-releases? Or did I just happen to talk to a particularly unhelpful tech support person? (He did not identify himself by name!) -- Wolf N.

About 50 sites have it at the present time and it's development is on schedule (it really will be out in August). John
