Good news: REDUCE under SUN SPARC Solaris 2.x is available. The previous
version of PSL based REDUCE will *not* run with this operating
system as many aspects, including the format of executables have
changed. All owners of a license of PSL based REDUCE 3.4 and 3.4.1 
for the Sparc may order an update cartridge for $30 (Germany: DM50), 
in the European community plus 15% VAT.

Bad News: IBM's operating system AIX 3.2.2 for the RS6000 series has
a bug which causes the system to hang up under REDUCE from time to
time. The IBM engineers have isolated the bug, but an official patch
is not yet known. It is definite that this is not a REDUCE or PSL
problem and it has nothing to do with the system service installed
together with PSL/REDUCE (the bug does not disappear if REDUCE/PSL
executes without that system service). For contacts with IBM: the
bug has been isolated in the 1st half of last  December at the 
computing center of the University of Cologne by IBM engineers from 
Mainz (Germany).
