All,
	This is a bit off-topic (not related to PDP UNIX).

Kirk McKusick is considering releasing all of the 4BSDs on a 6 CD set.
You will still need a UNIX source license in order to obtain the CDs, but
the new SCO license will be sufficient.

He needs about 40-50 people to order, so that the CD mastering will
be cost effective. I thought I'd solicit the PUPS list for interest.

Please note that this isn't an official announcement, so don't go asking
Kirk about it just yet. However, if you might be interested in purchasing
this 6 CD set of the 4BSD releases, please email me. I will build up a list
and pass it on to Kirk.

Thanks all,

	Warren
