	OK, kids watch the flames on this one.

	386bsd, the original *bsd, will be available soon.
	On August the 17th, tommorrow (reference local time), 
	Bill Jolitz, the original author of 386bsd   and the 
	person mostly responsible for all *bsd variants based
	on the NET/2 release from UCB, will speak.   He will
	discuss new features.  He will discuss the reasons
	for his long departure.  He  will make the long
	awatied release of  386BSD R1.0.

	Please stay tuned for more details later this week.
