===========================================

It looks like I have made a LARGE mistake.  The inital statement I made about
having to remove/destroy your present Microport operating system before getting
the upgrade was WRONG.  I'm very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused
anybody.   You will NOT have to remove your present system before receiving 
the upgrade.

You only need to send Microport the original disk set for the upgrade!

If you have any questions about the upgrade, please phone us at
(800) FOR-UNIX / (800) 367-8649 / (408) 438-8649 between 7am - 5pm PST

As for Microport not being serious - we are serious about this upgrade.
What are the comparable upgrade offers from the other Unix houses?
