            |       386BSD Release 1.0 SHIPS        |
            \---------------------------------------/
 
            The official word comes from Mr. Stan Barnes, Director of
    Special Projects for Doctor Dobbs Journal and Miller Freeman, Inc.
    "It shipped November 4 and we are currently filling all back
    orders", states Stan.
 
            386BSD, a Public Domain BSD-UNIX-like Operating System, has
    been over four years in the making.  Late in deliver, 386BSD
    previously caused a "wild fire" on the Internet when researchers
    and commercial developers, a like, scoured FTP sites for a version
    of this OS (Operating System).  Today 386BSD is one among many
    PDOSs (Public Domain Operating Systems) that are providing fire
    to developers wishing to explore new technology.
 
            The authors, William and Lynn Jolitz - working in quiet
    seclusion, have preferred to stay clear of political rabble rousing
    stating that their offering is soley intended as an "educational
    and research tool".   None the less, other PDOSs have come forth
    to provide additional incentives for developers and researchers in
    hope that the technology necessary for future Open Systems is
    still available.
