No, V4.0 is for both VAX and RISC boxes. They are different versions, but both
are out and I have my DECstations running V4.0 right now.

The numbering was VERY confused. UWS V2.2 was Ultrix 3.1. Huh? But...

It looks like the numbers have now been linked and V4.0 covers everything. My
tapes are labeled "AQ-PBJRB-BE Ultrix/UWS v4.0 (RISC)". V4.0 includes Kerberos
and maybe Hesiod (sp?). Kerbreos is fully supported. I think that the Xlib is
still at X11R3.
