  |  SYSTEM V Revision 3.0 is here! |
  -----------------------------------

	I finally received my SVR3 package last Wed and I've been
overwhelmed by how well the system works.

	Major enhancements have been done to the User Agent which
now gives you a series of added functions:

	1) The ability to access other users files via UA

	2) A security function which allows you to set r/w/x permissions
	   from UA

	3) A "Layout" function that gives you the layout of your directory
	   structure and allows you to go to that directory by simply
	   pressing B1 on it.  This saves you the trouble of having to 
	   open folder after folder after folder in order to get to
	   a specific file.

	4) A "cleanup" command that closes all folders and leaves you
	   at the Office menu.  Nice addition.

	5) Addition of the "find" command as a UA "soft key".

	6) FINALLY - when you "close" the office window it asks you
	   if you wish to logout insted of saying "Can't close the
	   Office window".

Enhancements to the rest of the system:

	1) INSTANTANIOUS WINDOW MANIPULATION!  It's a pleasure to
	   move and resize windows.  The instant you click the mouse
	   you get the "rubberband".

	2) Ability to change window size/shape even if you don't have a
	   mouse.

	3) Support for remote printers (sends XEQfile to remote UNIX PC)

	4) The Korn Shell now comes standard.

	5) Supposedly an added command called "scrset(1)" which blanks out
	   the screen if there hasn't been input for a given amount of time.
	   Sorry guys - This one never came with my package but maybe
	   you'll have better luck - send me mail if you do get it.

	6) NO MORE HARD DRIVE BUZZING - When you initialize the hard drive
	   there's an actual check to see if there are any bad blocks on
	   the hard drive.  If so they are put in the bad block list -
	   the drive hasn't buzzed since the new software was installed.

	7) Various other added commands and enhancements to the window
	   manager and the like.

				Enjoy!

If you haven't gotten the info on how to get SVR3 already I'll post
it shortly.
