I have gotten several requests for answers to the question about mach
that I posted recently.  It seems there is enough general interest to
post the results of my search.

>	1)  How does one get information about mach?

	ftp wb1.cs.cmu.edu		(128.2.250.16)
	User: anonymous
	Password: <You must put your email address here>
	cd /usr/mach/public/doc

	Write email to:
	mach@cs.cmu.edu

>	2)  How can one get Mach on the internet?

	Vax, Sun 3 and IBM RT PC are distributed on reel tape or
	cartridges.

	For i386 machines, CMU uses "sup" (software upgrade protocol)
	an internet protocol to distribute MACH to people with the
	necessary licenses(see below).

>	3)  What machines does Mach run on?

	There are versions of Mach 2.5 for the following machines:
		Vax(mainframe and MicroVax)
		Sun 3
		IBM RT PC
		i386

>	4)  How large is Mach?

	Mach 2.5

	i386 Recommend hard disk >= 100Meg
		binaries	~30Meg
		kernel source	~15Meg
	Sun 3 requires at least one 70Meg hard disk
	Vax requires at least one 70Meg hard disk

I don't know how to get any of these. :-( I not sure which of the
following are required because I have gotten some conflicting
information.

	Mach 2.5 license
	4.3 BSD source license
	AT&T V3.2 source license
	Sun 3 seems to require a Sun binary or Source license.
