Very slight clarification to the ULTRIX version supporting the DECstation
5000 and DECsystem 5000 (the new machines).

The code supporting the DECstation 5000 at First Customer Ship is ULTRIX
Worksystems Software (UWS) V2.2d.  The code supporting the timesharing/server
system (DECsystem 5000) is ULTRIX-32 V3.1d.  These versions also support
all previous RISC boxes (DECstation 3100, 2100 and DECsystem 3100, 5400, 58XX).
This code started shipping with the new hardware (April 6th).

Version V4.0 (where UWS and ULTRIX finally have the same version number)
releases in the June timeframe, but will not be the first version to
support the new machines.  We simply announced it on the same day as we
announced the machines.
