   I thought I read somewhere that they planned to complete their ports
   to all platforms within 90 days of their first (VMS?) port of each
   given new release ??

The porters had so much trouble with SunOS 4.0 that they're waiting to get
4.1 before they try again.  We're not too happy about that either... we
want to move several of our internal databases to a Sun 4...
