Yes, 3.0 is really shipping. I got a call from our micro store yesterday
to come and pick up my CD-ROM, and I installed 3.0 the same day. Wondeful.
(They said that they had been trying to reach me since Wednesday).

So, it is here. Even better is the fact that there are very few files
only available as part of compressed packages, so people like me with small
hard drives can mount the CD-ROM and access documentation and occasionally
used tools straight from that, freeing up hard disk space.

The only things in packages only are:

   English.pkg (contains on-line help stuff)
   NeXTTeX.pkg (the only annoying one for me, since I use TeX occasionally)
   NeXT_AppleTalk.pkg
   Sybase_DB-Library.pkg

Regards,

    Richard.
