Managers,

        I recently upgraded fro 3.2D-1 to 4.0 then to 4.0A. If I do a
search through uerf startup messages, you can clearly see it is at 4.0A:

# uerf -R | grep Digital | more
                                        Digital UNIX V4.0A (Rev. 464);
                                        Digital UNIX V4.0A (Rev. 464);
                                        Digital UNIX V4.0A (Rev. 464);
                                        Digital UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 386); Sat
                                        Digital UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 386); Sat
                                        Digital UNIX V3.2D-1 (Rev. 41);
                                        Digital UNIX V3.2D-1 (Rev. 41);

        Also, the /etc/motd also reports being at 4.0A

        But, when I recently went to perform a patch on the system and it
told me to verify that we were at 4.0A by using uname:

        # uname -r -v
        V4.0 464

        Why would uname report only being at v4.0? Which one is correct
or did the update install from 4.0 to 4.0A not work for some reason
correctly?

Any advice into where to identify exactly what version I am running would
be graciously accepted.

Thanks
