Does anyone know what the current version of HiSoft BASIC is? I called MichTron a while back about a problem I was having woth v1.23, and they told me they would send me v1.25 if I sent $5. Now, MichTron, under new ownership, claims there is no v1.25. What gives? ---- James R. Glenn bitnet: JRGLENN@AMHERST (Amherst College) Have you seen Valgus^2?

What gives? I recently got an upgrade to HiSoft BASIC 1.31. I think that's the latest. There was something in the handout I picked up at a show about there being a change re US distribution. I haven't got it handy at present, but I'll see if I can dig it up. I read in a magazine that Hisoft & Power BASIC are to be combined into a single new product sometime in the new year. >---- >James R.

It may be worth contacting HiSoft directly for up to date information. Their phone number is +44 525 718181. From "HiSoft News", dated December 1990: "We are very sad to say goodbye to Michtron, our former US distributor, which has now closed down. We were always pleased with the way they sold our software. We are now happy to be working with Lauren Flanegan-Sellers and Goldleaf Publishing of San Fransisco and we hope to be able to make an announcement to our North American customers quite soon." -- Andrew Dawson, Computer Centre, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, England.
