	We're getting a beta soon.  I've never heard the name Destiny, though.
I was calling it UnixWare.  It sounds interesting, but my boss is no big fan
of Unix, so he sees it as the merging of two evils, Unix and Netware.
If the DOS and Windows support is good, it could be interesting.  I hadn't
heard about the OS/2 support.  Is that just character-based 1.x stuff or full
2.0 compatibility?  That'd be a neat trick.

	I'm a little concerned about some of the things they're leaving out
though.  Unix without TCP/IP seems a little lame.  Also they got rid of
a lot of advanced utilities that normally come with Unix.  I assume it comes
with X11, because they offer both Motif and OpenLook managers.
