Santa Cruz Operation Inc will be announcing Santa Cruz Unix System V.3.4 in February. This is not a System V.4 implementation, nor will there ever be one, according to the company, primarily, it says, because Unix System Laboratories Inc pulled together so much in its System V.4 release that the stuff is too big for Santa Cruz, as a player in the small computer system business, to turn into a product. In any case, it maintains, recent homework shows many large European corporate users in favour of OSF/1-based system software, while governments, it believes, care little as long as what they get is conformant with the X/Open Co Portability Guide.
