Rumour has it that the next major releases on the 300 and 800 series
(HP-UX 7.0 and HP-UX 3.0?, respectively) will be merged in the sense
that everything that's in one of them is in the other and vice versa.
Does that mean that also the 300 will get REAL job control?  I noticed
that the latest 6.2 release for the 350 has long filenames (plus
a lot more we've been waiting for) - thanks!
