Does anyone know when the 32-bit 386 version of Coherent is out? I have version 3.1 of Coherent, but hardly use it because it is almost useless to me without good 386 support, (and memory segments bigger than 64k!!!) Also, will they finally add a paging system to it, for virtual memory, so I'm not trapped by the 2Meg memory size of my 386SX? If it is due out in the near future, does anyone know if there's some sort of "upgrade package" for registered Coherent users, so I don't have to pay full price again? (I just wish I had known when I got Coherent that it had 286 limitations built into it...) Thanks - Frank (Hey! I'm the first poster!)

If you buy the driver development kit, you can build a kernel that uses swapping. >If it is due out in the near future, does anyone know if there's >some sort of "upgrade package" for registered Coherent users, >so I don't have to pay full price again? Your guess. If they come out with a 386 version, I will probably buy a 386 machine. >(I just wish I had known when I got Coherent that it had 286 limitations >built into it...) > > Thanks > - Frank > >(Hey!
