I, too, am eager to get my hands on the new system software!
From earlier discussions, I expect System Disk 5.0 to be released
sometime this summer. (It's hard to complete comprehensive software 
testing quickly, so it could be another couple of months...but I'd rather 
have a solid product even if it takes longer!)

Could someone from Apple...

    Give us a progress report (done coding? done testing? done documenting?)

    Tell us whether 5.0 is weeks or months away from release.

    Indicate what products will be released by Apple (any support tools,
    in addition to the system disk) and related products from other
    companies (e.g. TML's Pascal II requires 5.0, and they will also
    offer a resource editor)

    After it is available, post the APDA ordering number(s) to the net
    so we don't have to wait for the catalog to arrive in the mail.
