	I've been seeing a few references to an allegedly mythical 
upgrade for Rainbow MSDOS, including a call for pressure on DEC to
release it to us, the users.  Contrary to various opinions, DEC has
issued v3.1, at least to Ford Motor Company.  Ford dealers using
Rainbows for their DCS system which handles a lot of stuff regarding
their car sales and reordering, use a version that has been patched 
in the .SYS files to display a Ford Motor Company message after the
Microsoft copyright message.  It says 3.1!  (and its command.com 
isn't compatible with v2.11.  Don't know if this gives the rest of
us any leverage or not.			[dale]
