Yes, this is correct, and the work is nearly complete. ACL 3.1.20 for NeXT 2.0 is now in QA and I expect it to be released in the next week. The 040 has separate data and instructions caches, which means any program that executes data must flush the caches before doing so. This release of ACL will be different than the previous NeXT release: it will be distributed on 12-1.44MB 3.5" micro floppy disks, with pre-installed binary images of ACL and GNU Emacs (the source to the latter is available, too). If you have 1.0 and are expecting an upgrade, you contact NeXT, otherwise contact Franz Inc. at (415) 548-3699 or info@franz.com for more information. -- Kevin Layer, Franz Inc. 1995 University Avenue, Suite 275 layer@Franz.COM (internet) Berkeley, CA 94704 uunet!franz!layer (uucp) Phone: (415) 548-3600; FAX: (415) 548-8253
