Whom at Apple has told you this? I am capable of believing that they aren't
going to continue developing Unix for new 68K Macs, now that PPC is around
the corner, but I hardly believe that Apple won't make a version of Unix
available for the PowerPC Macintoshes. Could you document your sources at
Apple, please?

No, it hasn't. They increased I/O speed and included bug fixes, which will
help their AWS95 market. There was a copy of the press release posted on
comp.unix.aux. On request, I can dig it out and mail it to the list.

Quite correct, as I recognize your name and company. Tenon develops MachTen,
correct? It might help if you identify your interests a little better in
future mailings to the list. I'm curious, however, of your interest in this
mailing list. If I may be as bold as to ask, do you have technical or
business interest here? Your answer will help me better understand your
message.
Thank you.
