Yeah, it wasn't one of my best answers. Let's try this:
We have a target of March 2007 - this date like those for most
unreleased
products are available from your account representative.

As for why it is taking so long, the answer is simple. It's a lot harder
than expected. For example, because OpenWindows is not available we have
to
adjust to that for applications that use it. Additionally, Bristol
Technologies was not planning to port Wind/U to Solaris 10. That added
unexpected costs and delays.

We've worked our way through these issues, but it has been a challenge.
The
March 2007 date appears pretty stable.

As for version numbers, we see the next several and their areas of
emphasis
as:

V8.1.1 - FCP 100-Series I/O (released)
V8.2 - WinXP SP2 (new NutCracker, new eXceed, etc)
V8.3 - ZCP with 100-Series I/O
V8.4 - SOTM

Of course, there will be other items, but these are the big ones.

Is this better?

Alex,
        That answer was sufficiently vague, which is unlike you, (the
detail guy).  Is there still a plan for Solaris on the MESH?  If so, is
there a projected time frame for it?  If not, what is the reasoning?  It
must have been a fairly recent decision that Solaris on the MESH would
not be included in Ver. 8.2.  The talk and presentations we have seen
all pointed in that direction.  Our account rep has retired and our new
contact has not yet been announced.  Thanks for any details.
Tom VandeWater

V8.2 will not include Solaris on the Mesh.
We're building several smaller releases rather than one major
release.=3D20

Alex,
        We have heard for some time that Solaris AW hosts on the MESH
would be introduced with the Ver. 8.2 software release.  Is that still
the case?  Thanks for any info.

The work is underway. Your account representative has a mechanism to
check
on the status of unreleased products.

Hi,

is there a light at the end of the tunnel where we could buy a Solaris
based AW with the capability to host ATS modules?
