The floppies are labeled:

	Merge 386 Link Kit Version 1.0A
	Merge 386 for AT Compatibles, Version 1.00
		Use with UNIX System V/386
		rel 3.0 vers. 1.0

I doubt if this is the _new_ version of DOSMERGE; 
we've had it for about six months.

Again, I apologize to those who are sensitive about four
letter words for using them in this forum.

I do not apologize for alerting the 386 Microport user
community about a very serious problem.
