  Well Keith will probably post something on this, but I'll put a note in
just in case he's busy ... :-)

  We're in the process of BETA testing our second release of 2.10BSD.
This release includes several bug fixes, some of the final things missing
from the first release (fortran, lpr come to mind), and completely
reworked networking.  The networking has been moved to superviso space
which solves many of the space problems that people have been having.
The new networking is also a *lot* more stable than the networking in our
first release.

  We're shooting for the end of July as our release target.  This means
that it will probably be available from USENIX somewhere around the
middle of August if tape copying goes smoothly.  Note that as with all
delivery schedules one should apply the formula ((X*2)+3)^4 ... :-)
