			Dell UNIX System V Release 4   
				 Issue 2.2
                                            
 
Features
--------

o New Pricing -- A new price schedule is available for Dell UNIX 2.2, 
  complete system available for as little as $495 US.  (Reference the
  end of this document for complete pricing)

o Standards -- This Dell issue corresponds to USL's version 4.0 of
  UNIX System V Release 4.  This also carries the X/Open XPG3 Brand,
  indicating conformance to the Common Application Environment.  This is 
  defined by X/Open, the organization that defines world wide standards 
  for application portability.  Dell UNIX V.4 is also Posix.1 compliant.
  Dell UNIX 2.2 has been certified to be compatible with the latest
  version 6.0.34 of ORACLE for Intel UNIX from Oracle Corporation.
 
o Quality -- This product includes fixes for all significant problems 
  that appeared in earlier versions of Dell UNIX V.4, plus additional 
  corrections provided by USL based on the experience of other companies 
  with their own V.4 implementations.  A large number of enhancements 
  requested by customers have been added.
 
o Stability -- This is the fourth external issue of Dell UNIX V.4 and 
  shows the improvements in reliability and stability you would expect 
  of a maturing product. 

o Enhanced Graphics -- Much of the development work concentrated on 
  exploiting the full capabilities of our advanced graphical components.  
  The X11R5 package includes support for Dell DGX (Local Bus video) at 
  resolutions up to 1280x1024x256, ATI Ultra/Vantage 8514/A adapters
  at resolution up to 1024x768x256, VGA up to 1024x768x256, and the Dell 
  GPX adapter at up to 1024x768x256.
 
o Ease of Use -- This issue of Dell UNIX V.4 is easier to install and 
  easier to maintain than its predecessors, thanks to improvements in 
  the installation of the system.  There is continued and enhanced 
  support for network installation, which makes it easier for larger 
  sites to install Dell UNIX V.4 on multiple machines by using a network 
  connection instead of loading each system separately from tape.
 
o Utilities -- Dell has added many contributed tools and utilities, built 
  by Dell from freely available sources and provided to our users on an 
  as-is basis.  The new issue includes TeX, afio, Annex terminal server 
  software, bison, cnews, elm, emacs, f2c, fm, gcc-1, gcc-2, gdb, gmake, 
  C-kermit, less, mh, mmdf, nn, nntp, patch, pathalias, perl4, rcs, rn, 
  sc, shar, tcsh, top, microemacs, uumail, xntp, and zmodem.  Complete 
  source for these packages (as shipped) is provided on the installation
  tape.

o Improved Compatibility -- We have improved the capability of Dell UNIX 
  V.4 to run most applications developed for the SCO and SVR3.2 
  environments.  This gives our users access to an even larger portion 
  of the software available for i386-based UNIX in addition to the 
  advanced features required to run new applications being developed for 
  UNIX System V.4.

o Networking -- Several new network adapter device drivers have been 
  added.  Currently supported adapters include the Western Digital 8- 
  and 16-bit (8003xx, 8013xx), IBM 16/4 Token Ring Adapter, WD Token 
  Ring, Intel Imx586, and 3Com 3C503.
 
o Support -- Dell now includes 90 days of UNIX Technical Support at no 
  extra charge when purchased with Dell hardware.  This is in addition 
  to the full year of free hardware support that is standard on all Dell 
  systems.  This helps assure that the customer will get off to a good 
  start with the new system, and gives Dell the opportunity to 
  demonstrate the benefits of having our ongoing technical assistance.

  Customers who wish to run Dell UNIX V.4 on other vendor's hardware
  can take the product on an as-is basis.  However, they need to
  understand that we are only prepared to deal with hardware problems 
  concerning Dell hardware.  We will accept software problem reports from 
  any customer, with or without a support contract.
