	I've since been told that the new R4 version is very different.
I'm told ParcPlace has done away with the MVC (Model View Controller) system.
I'm told ParcPlace now "supports" color, instead of offering color as a
less than fully supported option.  PP ST-80 R4 may be more closely integrated
with the native (X, Openlook, MS Windows, etc) window system than I described.

	Now I can't wait to see the new system!
