We have Apollo DN3000 machines running under DOMAIN/IX 9.6 BSD4.2 .
Our newsfeed (running ULTRIX 2.2) supplied us with
News version B 2.11 (3/23/87) at patchlevel 6, rn is
Revision 4.3 (85/05/01) at patchlevel 40.

After some twiddling (the included version of 'Configure' could
not cope with Apollo-isms such as the non-library format of the
C library yet) it's running *almost* well, the major complaint
being a mysteriously growing /sys/node_data/proc_dump file...

After Vince Skahan's recent message in comp.sys.apollo stating

I now feel compelled to ask whether there is the opportunity of getting 
an up-to-date apollo-specific version from somewhere (ADUS?).

Thank you in advance for any pointers, comments,...
