The OCT 83 issue of "Microprocessors and Microsystems" is an issue on
16 bit Operating Systems (very interesting reading).  In an article
'16 bit Operating Systems Standards and MS-DOS' (which, btw, is an
excellent overview of MS-DOS on a high level; for a low - level intro, I
recommend the June 83 "Byte" article: "An Inside Look at MS-DOS"), the
author claims that 3.0 MS-DOS is due for announcement in autumn 1983,
and that it  will show even greater similarities to Xenix, and will
have such nifty features as multitasking, file - locking, and interprocess
communication.  Since autumn 1983 has come (and is almost gone), I am
wondering if such announcement is indeed coming????  Any speculations,
rumors, or heaven forbid, hard facts will be greatly appreciated.
