   Speaking of B news 2.11, with all due respect to the many individuals 
who have put in long hours developing and testing it, *WHEN* is it going to
be distributed?

   Also, is there room for a beta test site running an odd-ball small machine
version of UNIX?  In particular, while my system is essentially SYSIII, it
has a dumb compiler (7 char identifier limits, no void type, 7 char limit in
CPP too).
