Title: Information on System V Status
Article-I.D.: wdl1.158

This is our information regarding our System V order.  It probably also
explains why nobody has yet received copies.  (We did order and receive
documentation, no license was required.)

System V was being held up for our order because AT&T could not establish 
a software license.  Their lawyers presumably were confused about seriously
marketing a product that did not have a cord and a handset.

Our latest information is that AT&T has finally come up with a license
that has been sent to Ford Corporate Headquarters for signoff.  With
the ball back in our court, we can hopefully agree on a license and
finally receive System V.
