Not imminent.  I am waiting for the copyeditor to hack away on the manuscript
of Structured Computer Organization, 3rd ed., so I have about a week of
free time.  I decided to use it to go over the stuff I have been accumulating.

I will be away from Amsterdam starting July 24 for about 4 weeks.  When I
get back I'll get back to SCO 3rd ed.  By then Bruce Evans should be
getting close with the second release of protected mode, which I want to look
at before its being posted.  Finally, when all that is done, I may begin
posting 1.4b, which will be Bruce's protected mode kernel plus the 1.4a
utlities + numerous new utilities from the net, bug fixes, etc.  When all that
is done, I'll start on POSIX.  I estimate that to be around October/November.
