Well, it's out, but Zortech screwed up and shipped it with a MPW library
disk missing. They promise a new disk Real Soon Now.
The disks are plain green disks with labels printed on a dot-matrix
printer, and the manuals are 8 1/2 x 11" GBC-bound, like something like
you'd make at a copy shop. One manual came as unbound, loose sheets.
Zortech's MS-DOS products are more professionally produced. This thing
looks like a beta version rather than a finished product.
No idea if the compiler is any good; it won't link without the missing
disk. It successfully compiled a "hello world" program, but failed during
link. So the compiler is at least alive. It even compiles under A/UX.
I'd hold off on ordering; Zortech doesn't have its act together
on this yet. From the specs, it may be a good product, but it's not
yet usable.
