			Encore Mach Version 1.0

Encore Mach version 1.0 is now shipping from Encore.  All existing
customers with support will automatically receive an update tape
in the near future.  Those without support should contact their
local sales person for information on obtaining Mach.

Mach version 1.0 is based on the version 2.5 Mach kernel from
CMU and the 4.3BSD-tahoe utilities.  Encore has extensively
parallelized the file system, network, terminal handling
and other portions of the kernel for increased performance
on the Multimax.  The standard I/O (stdio) functions within
libc have also been made thread-safe for use in multi-threaded
programs.

Encore Windows (X11R4 plus Motif) is also available for Mach.
There is no charge for this software, however, customers must
explicitly request this software as it is not part of the standard
distribution.

NFS based on SUN NFS version 3.2 is also available as a layered
product.  Both client and server sides are supported in the kernel.
NFS has also been parallelized for increased performance.
