An interesting note:
Since both the Amiga and AtariST now have the functionality of both
the MS-DOS and Macintosh available to them, I wouldn't be surprised if both
machines become more popular. Being able to run 3 different varieties of
software on one machine is a strong inducement to purchase!
(i.e., you can still use your dBase database, write your papers on Mac
Word 3.0, and use MaxiPlanPlus for your spreadsheet; all on an Amiga!)
(Yes, for those of you who haven't heard; the Magic Sac is coming for the
Amiga.!!) (And, like PC-Ditto, the Transformer runs most PC software, but
slowly. The Sidecar/A2088 allows PC software to run at full speed, con-
currently with Amiga software...)
Up with MC680x0!

Has anyone received version 2.0 of OSS Personal Pascal yet? I sent in my order when I received the advertisement, but I'm still waiting... Eric Terrell
