	Can anyone give me (or tell me where I might find) the figures
	on workstations sold for Sun, HP, IBM, NeXT, Dec and Data General?

	I'm not sure where else to check.  There is a numbers dispute in
	one of the (of course) advocacy groups.

Sorry, does not quite address your question, but this is one of the
few bits of data I have:

From Unix World, Jan 1993

Totally                         $155e9

1996 projections are by IDC


1993 Unix hardware sales

                        Units           $billion        installed-base

(Interesting to note $24 billion is sortof consistent with the previous
table).

The 1/11/93 issue of EE times has 1992 sales for the top-5  (p.4)


Excerp likely to be legal under fair-use
------------------------------------------

		1992 market share ($ I believe)
Sun			31.6%
HP			19.8%
IBM			18.4%
DEC			 9.1%
SGI			 7.1%
