  I have tried upgrading to EUNICE 4.1 and VMS v4.1 but for various reasons
I was forced to go back to VMS v3 and my old EUNICE. But the experiment
generated a few questions:
1) mail under EUNICE 4.1 doesn't work (documented bug, no fix). Anyone
   know when a fix will be available?
2) I missed one file in the uucp directories (UUCPLOGIN.COM, probably not
   to hard to figure out what should go into it), so I never tried out
   UUCP and news. Anyone know if uucp, netmail and news works under EUNICE 4.1
3) I could not get any program that uses vfork to function properly. Is this
   an EUNICE 4.1 bug or did I miss something in the installation? I followed
   the installation guide carefully.

	It's available now.  I think it was very poor judgment to release
	4.1 with that many things not working, but to TWG's credit, I
	received the update tape within 18 hours of requesting it.  I will
	install it soon and let the net know whether it works and what else it
	fixes.

I have heard nothing about horror stories about the Eunice upgrade.  As
far as I know, the only people who have gotten it to work (besides TWG)
are the folks at SRI (no surprise) and one machine upstairs (but they don't
exercise it much).  Is it really that big a problem?  Does anybody have
any helpful suggestions or hints?

I'm looking at an upgrade probably within the next few weeks, and I
can't afford to fall back to V3.  Yes, I'm really worried about this
whole thing.
