will and is are two different things.  we were discussing is, if i remember
correctly.  I applaud the future enhancements, because they are needed, but
they aren't here now.  The truism that "what you really want is in the next
release of software" sort of applies here.  when that release gets shipped,
then the opportunity for large IBM and IBM-compatible systems to run a unix
environment for teaching is greatly improved.  Then, you may see a further
increase in the teaching of computer science directly in such an environment.
For the moment, we will have to settle for greatly overloaded VAXen.
