COHERENT version 4 was released in May of 1992 for $100 (around $219
in 2024). This version made COHERENT a fully 32 bit operating system
and required at least an Intel 80386 CPU and 1MB of RAM. This version
also brought official support for X Windows and MGR to COHERENT for
the first time. This version was roughly compatible with UNIX SVR3.
BTW: Probably "X Window" (the X Window System) is meant above,
not "X Windows".
