This is inaccurate.  The 7.0 Release of HP-UX is now being shipped to
field support personnel (SE's).  Shipments to customers are scheduled to
begin in December.  The first copies will be going out with new systems,
and soon after copies for updating from earlier releases will be
shipped.  Shipments are expected to take 6-8 weeks once they begin.

Lest anyone think otherwise, a tremendous amount of work by a great
number of people has gone into the 7.0 Release.  Every effort has been
made to ensure that the quality of this product is up to the standards
that HP's customers have come to expect.  I think that I can safely say
for all of those involved in the project that, "We like it, and we think
you will, too."  If that weren't true, we'd still be working on it.
