The 2/12/91 issue of MacWeek has an article that says that QuickMail 2.5 
will run under A/UX and System 7.0. Actually, the article mostly talks 
about it running on PCs on PC LANs and mentions A/UX only in passing, but 
we've been talking to CE Software for a while about running QuickMail 
under A/UX. They assured us that A/UX compatibility would be in the next 
release, without specifying exactly when that release would be. I had 
expected version 2.5 to ship by March, but the article seems to indicate 
that it won't ship until this summer.
