  The "official" word that I got internally (within DEC, not intra-
  dermally) is that DEC has not dropped production of the Rainbow
  but is re-fitting the Rainbow production facility to produce some-
  thing else.  I also heard that DEC should be announcing new features
  and upgrades for the Rainbow within the next month.  Where these
  things will be produced is what I don't know.
