The PSR_A release has been folded into the Sun-4 release.  Never fear, the
big servers will be supported.   Sun has announced, on the other hand,
that 4.1.1 will be the last release for the Sun-3.  The only good reason
to keep software support for a Sun-3 is if you think that Sun will
continue to fix bugs for 4.1.1 Sun-3's.  By the way, I have this bridge
over the East River I'm selling......
