Spelling correct.  And a good question, what *did* happen with Kubota?  The
Kubota Denali was some hot stuff back in '94, we were drooling over the
opportunity to get our hands on one at the time to try out with our
3000/600s & Unigraphics.

However, Kubota lost it's funding and basically shut up shop back in '95.
