The STOS version 2.5 upgrade is available from the STOS club library and
presumably Mandarin in England and has been available for several months
(about the time the STe was available in Canada).

Our local store (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada) already has STOS and the compiler
with yellow corner stickers saying ST/STe i.e. Version 2.5 in the box.

I get a bit peeved when the UK magazines still list STOS as incompatible with
the STe.

If you are trying to run a STOS compiled program, ask the author to recompile
with version 2.5.
