I was just reading over the release notes in the info locker and had a
few changes/corrections, which are attached below.
I also realized that I never gave you notes on dash, console, xolh and
xolc for the release, as well as an updated manpage for console, and so
I will do so as soon as I can.

==============================================================================
Section 2.6:
- bullet #2, it says "On color Athena workstations, the logos
will be in red so that you can easily recognize a color workstation
before you login.". It should probably also be mentioned that on a
grayscale workstation, the logos will be in shades of gray, so as to
be able to recognize grayscale machines.
- bullet #3, should probably mention that the resource
"*blankAllScreens" can be put in Xlogin.local.
- bullet #5, it says "inside you xterm", which should be "inside your
xterm".
- bullet #6, "to display a local messages" should be either "to display
local messages" or "to display a local message". take your pick.
Section 5:
- changes.74, #1699: says "expect under ultrix", should say "except
under ultrix".
- changes.74, #1700: says "when the OLC server is a network distant
from the client". huh?
Section 6:
- "A port of the Athena environment to SunOS concurrently with...".
again, huh?
Section 7.4:
- bullet #6: "Warnings will now be printed when a user reaches 90"
(end of sentence). umm, that's very nice, but what does it have to
do with quota?
Section 7.8.1:
- "you will see a bar across the top of your screen with the menus". I
fear that users might confuse this with dash. Perhaps "across the
top of the EZ window"...? Perhaps check with Bill on this wording.
Section 7.12:
- bullet #2: "the version of Athena installed on the location
workstation", should be "local workstation"...?
