[This was paraphrased when it got to me - I have entered it exactly as I  
received it.  In particular, I think there's a mistake in the 3rd paragraph; I  
assume they meant to discuss NeXTStep '486.]

	NeXT has been in discussions with Hewlett Packard over licensing  
NeXTStep.  It was further reported that the discussions were not limited to a  
software license only, but may broaden into an investment from HP.  Further,  
NeXT may use a version of HP's microprocessor in a future version of their  
workstation.

	There has been speculation around Silicon Valley, that NeXT may not  
survive if they don't receive additional investments from a major partner like  
HP.

	Work has already begun at NeXT on an Intel version of their workstation  
which has been delayed for release until mid-1993.  Other options being  
considered by NeXT include the NT operating system from Microsoft or software  
from Taligent, the joint venture established between IBM and Apple.
