1.  I know of one site with the MMU installed and they are ecstatic.
    They have an accounting application that makes system response
    poor without the MMU and they are happy enough with the MMU and
    3MB of RAM that they have delayed conversion to another system
    for another year (they bought the clone MMU, not the RS product;
    the clone producer has a 4MB DRAM board).

2.  The 3.2 development system is apprently awaiting a decision 
    concerning release.  I know of several sites running it and one
    of them (a commercial installation) reported that there have not
    been changes for a while now.  It will be interesting to see
    if they do release it as Kent Roberts promised to deliver it
    two years ago at Tangent and it was also promised at last
    year's August manager's meeting.  On the other hand, it
    apprently includes only the ability to handle longnames as
    a major improvement, from what I hear.
