I am currently running Microport System V/386 rev 3, and am generally happy
with it. However, I am aware that a while back Microport was in some
financial difficulty.

MY QUESTION: does anyone have recent impressions about the financial
stability and support resources of Microport? I will possibly be installing
some flavor of Unix for a client soon, and would prefer to stick with uport
unless there is an unacceptably high risk that they will leave us high and
dry. 

If you have good impressions, share them with the net. If you have negative
impressions, it would probably be most ethical to e-mail them to me
privately.

Thanks,

Orville R. Weyrich, Jr.
