Just so people don't get confused "NeXT Mach 3.0" Refers to NeXTSTEP 3.0,
*not* Mach 3.0 in the sense of the microkernel with UNIX server. On a NeXTSTEP
2.1 machine you get "NeXT Mach 2.1".  It's the system release.

Last I heard they aren't at Mach 3.0 because the UNIX server wasn't stable
enough for a commercial product.

Basically, don't try to associate any of NeXT's version numbers with
anything outside of NeXT..

la la la,
