It's 3.0.1, not 3.1. It SHOULD have been called 3.1, but that's another
story....

I recently posted an announcement which included info on upgrades*. Note that
only customers on support contracts get automatic upgrades; others should
order an upgrade kit from Sun's CSD or buy a new copy of 3.0.1 and
use it to upgrade existing PCs. I note without comment (?) the fact that
recent postings have suggested that it is much quicker to get
a new copy of PC-NFS than to drag an upgrade kit out of CSD....
