Yesterday's issue of infoworld stated that NeXT was releasing 2.1
OS to rectify a last-minute disabling of several PostScript commands
in version 2.0.  Seems that the commands had the ability, when 
mailed to another NeXT, of erasing the recipient's Mach kernal.

Does anyone know if this will be the only change to 2.1.  I can
live without these commands, as far as I can tell, because I am
not on a network and do not send PS mail.  Besides, $400 in OS
upgrades within two months sounds a little nutso to me |:(.
