Unify has a policy of porting to the latest OS releases on major UNIX
platforms.  Sun ports will be done under the 4.1 OS.  We see this as a
strategic platform for our business and will continue to support our
software on Sun platforms as the OS evolves.

Information we received from Sun indicated binary compatibility between
4.0.3 and 4.1.  This may be the reason for some of the confusion as we do
have Sun product running under the 4.0 and 4.0.1 OS.

These ports are scheduled to be performed by the Porting Department of
Unify.  I am unaware of any negotiations that may involve the University
of Purdue.
