Unfortunately, I don't have the address, anyone care to > post it? > ICD did buy out OSS and merge their products together. They are supporting both the 8bit and ST line of exOSS products. Their address is: ICD, Inc. 1220 Rock St. Rockford, IL 61101 ICD puts out a very nice catalog describing all their products and you can get a free copy by writing or calling their order number (815)-968-2228. This number is also their technical support number and is in operation Monday - Friday, 8AM to 5PM CDT. You can also request a catalog via their BBS if you want (that is how I got mine) and they have an excellent SIG called ASK ICD where one of the sysops is pretty quick at coming back with an informed answer. The BBS is 24 hr/ 7 days and the number is (815)-968-2229. Baud rate is 300 - 9600. Hope this helps... Kit Kimes AT&T--Bell Laboratories ...att!ihlpe!kimes

Not long ago the programmer who wrote the Personal Pascal compiler
left a message that he had not received a royalty payment from OSS in 17(?)
months, and that the new version he had completed would not reach the U.S.
Did anyone happen to save a copy of that posting? It has scrolled off
the end of our spooler, and my own copy is gone. I am the registered owner of
two copies of this program, and I'd like to append a copy of the posting in
question to a letter I am writing to ICD.
It's a royal pain to be on the wrong end of shabby business practices!
