Great! A couple of questions spring to mind tho...

1) Will we now see A/UX ship with Motif libraries as part of the X11 product?
   Don't all the other OSF hardware vendors do this?

2) Will Apple move A/UX 3.0 to UI-System Vr4 or to OSF/1 as the core
technology    for their UNIX offering?

3) Or will Apple ship MacMach [with MacOS support] as A/UX 3.0? Oooh,
take that    Mr. Jobs (yes I know OSF/1 uses Mach as well).

Or are we waiting for the multi-threaded MacOS ROMs before we tackle
such things as question 2 & 3?
