Here is all the information I was able to acquire.

From:        Prospero Software <prosof@cix.compulink.co.uk>

The latest versions are 2.153 for Fortran, and 1.144 for C. Both fix
all known 'incompatibilities' that occurred with TOS 1.4

The cost of updating to the current versions is 30 UK pounds, and the 
master disks will need to be returned with payment (either by a
cheque drawn on a UK bank or by credit card) to the address below.

Paul Hargreaves.

I have called the US # and it has been disconnected. I then called PBO
Development and they do still handle Prospero Software though if you didn't buy 
it from them they recommend you deal with Prospero UK directly. I don't know the
status of Rosoft Distribution. Also PBO Development says that Prospero doesn't
currently have a US Distributor and that Prospero is currently in a state of
transition with regard to their North American distributors. Looks to me the
best bet is to deal directly with Prospero UK for the time being.
