	I tried to send you email asking where to find out more about the
availability of OSF/1 and never got a response.  I managed to locate
information about it on their ftp server.  At least at this time, the only
thing that is available is their version of the MACH micro-kernel.  They
claim that a set of XPG3(?) compliant server programs will be available
around the end of this year.  Until they are released, a free OSF/1 remains
just as much vaporware as HURD.  I see no reason to be more or less
skeptical of OSF/1 then I am of Windows 95 or HURD...
