Commodore has an active engineering project working on a AT&T UNIX V.4
for the Amiga.  That's not secret.  We have shown it at a number of
industry events over the past year or more.  That does not mean that
it will automatically become a released product, however.  Commodore
is evaluating the market potential for Amigas running UNIX, and the
costs of entering and competing in that market.  If and when we decide
that releasing Amiga UNIX is a good business decision for the company,
we will release the product.  As of yet, Commodore has not made a 
formal announcement of the availability of the product.  Showing the
system at industry events helps us understand the market's reaction
to the product, and therefore contributes to the overal market
analysis, but does not indicate whether or not we'll actually release
the product.  So, stay tuned...
