The press releases and public statements Microsoft has made state the
release date of the merged Xenix/Unix product, which will be V.3.1 or
V.3.2 based, to be mid 1988. A recent "shared technology" agreement with
Altos was supposed to have accelerated the process. BTW, more and more I
hear the merged product (jokingly) referred to as Xunix (Zoo-nix).
