	Hello,

		Getting one stable version on many different platforms
is not always the easiest, especially in ones spare time.  

	I am ready and willing to take any donations of hardware and
software which will allow me to run XENIX.  At the moment, I have to
arrange, by apointment, to use equipment at a nearby company, taking
vacation days from my job to be able to do it in the buisness day.

	That is not to say I am not preparing XENIX, it just might take
a little while.  Also VMS users out there should hold on, a good set of
fixes with both a SMG and a VT220 style driver are being folded in now.

	And a little other good news... FINALLY... our computer center
here has gotten the internet connection up to my workstation.  Details
on anonymous FTP connections to it will be posted soon.

PS:	If you must get 3.10 running on XENIX immediatly...

	go into unix.c and add a "& 0" the the line

#if	COMPLET

	and go into tcap.c in the tcapgetc() function and add &0 to the:

#if	XENIX | SUN

	line.  This will get it running, without file name completion
and function key recognition.
