At COMDEX in Las Vegas I saw a working S-1 although there were no languages other than the one built into S-1. Robert Knight exists. Unlike some of the hype that MSI puts out, he is quite honest. So far they have S-1 for 68000 only but claim to be doing code generators for other ship -- read chips, and I quit when I make the first mistake.

Jerry posts something informative, but is now frozen by paranoia! Please keep posting, Jerry, and I (for one) don't mind if all you're "i's" our knot dotted... :-) -- :::::: Jan Steinman Box 1000, MS 61-161 (w)503/685-2843 :::::: :::::: tektronix!tekecs!jans Wilsonville, OR 97070 (h)503/657-7703 ::::::

Second the motion! Besides, every time I see Jerry at a con, he's so thoroughly surrounded there's no longer much chance to talk to him (or anyone else, by Brownian motion). Besides, who said that bit about issuing anything with errors being inexcusable? ... also, the proportion of stuff on the net which appears to be the product of peristalsis apllied to keys is large anyway -- it wouldn't do to get TOO sensitive about any one piece. -- What is the sound of one hand, clapping?
