I talked to them yesterday.  They ("Brian") said there would be an
upgrade to SysVr3.2 for the 286 in the future, as the overseas market
(which is a big one for their 286 port) wants that more than SysVr4.
They have been shipping Release 4.0 for the 386 and 486 for about a
month (non-beta versions) and have shipped over 200 copies.  They are
also shipping SysVr3 for the 386.

Also, for the SysV/AT product, a 2.5 update is in the works.  It will
include SCSI drive support and a more robust VGA driver.
