Re[2]: IBIS: Draft Press Release, Pls comment by 12/13/94

Text item:

Mike,

Thanks for pointing out the parser omission. I think it should be mentioned.
Regarding EIA, until we actually begin the formal affiliation, I would vot not
to mention it. What if, for some reason, it doesn't pan out?

Regards,

Will Hobbs
Intel Corp.

Inhabitants of IBIS,

Here are my humble comments on the press-release. Comments are in parentheses.

Greetings for the appropriate religious/capitalist season.

Mike

 This is planned to take place in the first quarter of 1995.
