First of all, the above posting was not the opinion of my employer,
Victoria College.  It was mine.  I might just explain it a little more:

Victoria College and Sigma Data had a Site Review meeting on the 11th of
October, at which the matter of a DYNIX upgrade for Victoria College was
raised.  I was not present at this meeting, but was made aware of what
was discussed.  Sigma Data agreed to pursue our desire for a DYNIX
upgrade, and since the meeting (but after my above posting), I have been
informed that we will be getting such an upgrade, as per our original
agreement with Sigma Data.

I am pleased at this outcome, and given our past relationship with Sigma
Data, which was more than satisfactory, have had my faith restored in Sigma
Data and Sequent.

By the way, I haven't found a version of netstat(1) that I can get going
yet (but I don't think I'll need it now).

The comments made in the article <6460.272dd562@csv.viccol.edu.au>, by Tim
Cook dated 31 October 1990 regarding the provision of DYNIX upgrades for
Victoria College, do not  reflect the official position of Victoria College
or the relationship with Sigma Data (Sequent) The facts are: 

1.	As planned with Sigma Data, DYNIX version 3.0.17 was ordered prior to
   31 October 1990 and will be installed in the first quarter 1991,
   along with a significant ORACLE revision. 

2.	There is a good working relationship between Victoria College and	
   Sigma Data and the College repudiates any comments or inferences	to
   the contrary made by Tim Cook.
