the 3 sunflash announcements about the 4/75 and sunos 4.1.1 are available
for anon. ftp from ftp.acsu.buffalo.edu:pub/sf[123]

the content is largely the same as the referenced message (but no
indication that they are for internal use only).

the sunos 4.1.1 announcement includes the following interesting features:
1) last release on magnetic (non-cd) media for the 4c machines.
2) last release for 68k machines
3) cd-rom includes all binaries
4) basic source and crypt kit available on cd-rom
5) openwindows and the quickcheck consistency checker are bundled.
6) quickcheck and the new fast (database accelerator?) i/o are mutex.
