                            ^^^^^^^^^
After reading what I wrote, I think I want to re-phrase it:
I KNOW for a fact that that this was, and *presumably* still is, the desire of  
at least one of IPT's employees.

> I also KNOW for a fact that this one IPT employee hopes to get NeXT to bundle
> both the client and server portions of "uShare" with NeXTSTEP, but only have

Again, I guess I should have said: "this one IPT employee hoped, and  
*presumably* still hopes....".

And, in case anybody get's confused here, the equivalent of the client portion  
is what NeXT bundles now in 3.0, so there would be no change in what we would  
get "for free".
