3.2 has been announced in their MWCBBS. It seems to be a 3.1.0 with
the bug fixes from MWCBBS, added a ksh (Korn Shell), a smart-mailer
(SMAIL 2.5 or their own, who knows) and some more utitilities.
It seems also be easier to use keyboards for foreign languages. They
told that german keyboard is supported.
Nevertheless when I read the news from MWCBBS about 3.2 they said they
will publish it in 4 weeks. That was 10 days ago. But when it really will
be sold, who knows.
But it seems to come because eMedia-Verlag, the german retailer, stopped
3.1 and told their customers that they will receive in 4 weeks 3.2.


386 support ?   No idea.

486 ?  Most 386 stuff runs on a 486, it's a bit faster and has a builtin
Coprocessor. So ensuring that COherent also works on that boards seems to
be enough.

Cu,

Joachim
