In <113@eiffel.UUCP>, I asked:

	I knew of course when posting the above that whenever you drop a hint
at the remotest possibility that support for a certain software version
might be discontinued screams will indeed come soon. But in this
case the number and shriekness of the screams was quite more than
expected. So there is no need to send in new ones. Eiffel release 2.2
will have a version for SunOS 3.5 on the Sun-3. Thanks for the prompt and
clear response.

	For Apollo versions 9.7/SR 10, also mentioned in the message, we got
very helpful messages from Apollo representatives but few user responses.
Input on whether sites are planning to move to SR 10 or have already done
so will be appreciated.

Thanks to all who responded.
