Hey.  Just wondering what release of Unix the 3b1 beta would be testing?
3.0 or 3.5+?

3.0 only supports 8character varible names, and there are a *lot* of
us out here that can't afford the $300-$500 to upgrade the os, dev kit,
and all our goodies.

Core question of all this:

Will 3.0 support <8 character filenames?
