The NeXT Telebusiness representative at headquarters in Redwood City told me that distribution centers (e.g., Stanford's Microdisc) should be providing v1.0 upgrades in a week or a week and a half. R. Martin Chavez Stanford University School of Medicine

Yes, 1.0 is out! Upgrade kits are being made around the clock and they will be on their way to all NeXT users by the end of next week. BusinessLand stores should also have 1.0 up and running soon.

Will those be shipped automatically, or with the upgrades, or do we need to do something special? And what is the timing on that? Michael Rutman Softmed

If you've bought the 0.8 or 0.9 Technical Documentation, you should send in the yellow registration card that arrived with it to assure that you will receive the printed version of the 1.0 Tech Docs when they become available.

Final, printed 1.0 Technical Documentation will >be available at a later date........ Not all of the 1.0 Technical Documentation is online on the 1.0 disk. I got my NeXT Release 1.0 shipment yesterday and it looks great. However, I wanted to connect a third party SCSI disk to the cube so immediately went looking for the documentation that was promised in the 0.9 release. I found the entries in Digital Librarian only to see that "This chapter isn't available on-line". The following chapters of the system administration manuals appear to be absent: 1 Introduction - Shipped in hardcopy with the 1.0 release 2 Basic Procedure - Shipped in hardcopy with the 1.0 release 5 Networking Services 6 Communications 9 Upgrading System Software 10 Adding Hardware 11 Security 12 Disk-A Disk Maintenance Program When should I expect to see the printed version of the documentation? I've only played with 1.0 for a short time, but I am pleased with how it looks. Many bugs have been fixed that make it a much better system. -- Larry Landry University of Rochester
