One of our 3rd party Software vendors insists that
Dynix/ptx 1.4.0 isn't available in the UK, is
this true?
Is there a great difference in the release schedule
of products for different countries or is everything
released globally at the same time?

Hi... we're running five Unisys 6000/70/80's here on PTX 1.3.1. I see
a lot of news postings from people running PTX 1.4, and wonder:
* whose release is it? Sequent? Unisys? both?
* what hardware platforms does it run on?
Thanks!

DYNIX/ptx 1.4 is certainly available in the UK and has been for
at least 6 months. There is occasionally a lag of a few weeks at most
to roll-out new releases everywhere in the world ... mostly because
we like to make sure that all local support center folks are trained
and knowledgeable about a new release before we "spring it" on them ... ;*)

DYNIX/ptx 1.4 is a Sequent-only release running on Sequent
Symmetry 2000 systems. The "PTX 1.3.1" which Pete mentions is a
Unisys version of DYNIX/ptx 1.3 from Sequent with Unisys drivers added
to it to support Unisys specific peripherals and comms products. The
Unisys version of PTX 1.3.1 also has support for a few of the new
peripherals which Sequent added in DYNIX/ptx 1.4 (FDDI & 3480 tape devices).
The most current version of DYNIX/ptx is 2.0 which has just begun
to ship in the last 2 weeks ...

We have a customer in the UK that purchased a S2000/250 in June of 92'. It
was delivered with the ptx 1.4 tapes. They purchased the system from Sequent
in the UK so I would assume it's been available there since at least June.

Hi There,
I'm installing some third party software on my sequent.
The install script says the following:
"Make sure your TCP/IP software version is 2.2.2 or higher."
How do I check?
