The OSF platform is what DEC, IBM, HP, NCR, SIEMENS and a number of 
other companies are supporting as a standard.  They'll handle both 
Berkeley and System V versions of Unix, and they'll be using XUI 
for their user interface infrastructure.  Athena will be adopting 
OSF, so we don't have to worry about licensing issues. 

Win's going to be getting a copy of Ken Pugh's hypermedia system, 
so we'll be able to try it out.

See you soon.  Lot's of interesting things are happening, so we 
should talk as soon as you get back.

Hope all is well with your father and grandfather.

Wendy
