   Hi Folks !

   You said the 13th of March, then you said the end of the month so that some
   court proceedings could come to an end. Well - we're still waiting, and we 
   would all really appreciate the full release, because there are machines
   waiting,  installations waiting, prople waiting etc....

I understand.  If you know anything at all concerning the legal
profession, then you'll know that it never moves as fast as one would
like.  Believe me, we'd LOVE to do a full release, but we cannot until
USL gives us the go-ahead.  On the most positive side, it could be a
week or two.  On the most negative, it could kill 1.1 entirely,
causing us to wait for the 4.4 lite tape to be released so that we can
reengineer the bits in dispute.  This would see 1.2 released sometime
in June or July.

We're not `giving ourselves lots of time', USL is giving us no time at
all, and this is what we're trying to negotiate.  Please be patient
and try to imagine how we must feel about this after having 1.1 ready
to go all these weeks.
