Motorola did indeed announce CP/M-68K at Wescon, but indicated it wouldn't
be available 'till around the end of the year.  They didn't have it running
at the show.

More interesting to me was their announcement of UNIDOS, which they did have
running, and was to be Beta-sited in a couple of months, and generally
available shortly(?) thereafter.  UNIDOS is a UNIX look-alike.  Does anyone
know if this was an inhouse creation, or if not, whose UNIX look-alike it is?

They didn't have literature available for either, preferring to mail out
literature after the show, so I will wait and see some of the details when
that arrives.  Something that really bothered me about Wescon was the lack
of the plastic bags to carry literature around in.  Quite a few people did
have them, which I assume they brought with them, since I didn't locate
anyone handing them out.  However, if you got on the bus at Wescon to go
over to the Disneyland Hotel to see the Mini/Micro con, there were large
signs at the entrances stating "NO SHOPPING BAGS", and people turning you
back if you tried to enter with anything more than an armload of literature.
