This is not the case - Ultrix 4.0 is not yet shipping. If you get a DECstation 5000 in the near future, it will come with Ultrix 3.1D, which is a child release following in the footsteps of the 3.1C release for the DECstation 5400. It is my understanding that the first 3maxes were scheduled to ship the day of the announcement, although consulting with your salesbeing would be a good plan - I'm just a lowly systems wizard, and know nothing of the ways of salespeople. _MelloN_
