The stuff we've committed to replication for V2.0 is for 
  * Apollo m68k and Prism machines
  * Sun 3 and Sun 4 machines
  * Source
You'll be able to order this in early January.

We're currently testing a port to the HP-UX 9000-3xx series, and it's
looking pretty good for February...(famous last words?   :-)

We have source-code customers doing ports to VMS, VAX/Ultrix, and
SGI.  I believe the VMS and VAX/Ultrix ports are straightforward, but
the SGI port ran into a couple of snags related to C++ language processor
incompatibilities.

We wanted to do the VAX ports ourselves, but we couldn't find a beta
site.  Is anybody interested?  (Ditto for DEC/PMAX)?  We'd like to hear
from you.
