[comp.sys.atari.st] UW status report

pete@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu (03/18/87)

	Hi everybody,
	Due to popular demand this is a status report on UW:

	My UW is still in the writing stages. I am trying to sort out a
couple of wierdities of the M2 compiler. (large library module hangs compiler
when it gets to declaration pass).
	I have heard that there is a version of UW available from Norway (?).
It is apparently a fairly simple implementation. My implementation will be
COMPLETE (with extensions over MAC) when finished, but if people are in a hurry,
perhaps someone can post it. (I would be interested).
	Source to my version will be sent to the moderated group, WHEN COMPLETE!and obviously the binary will be posted as well. I am still waiting for my 
version 3 M2 compiler (I have version 1, non-developers) So I still don't have
a resource compiler, which will obviously slow development down a bit. I am 
planning on implementing a form of "download" window for the system, so you
can download and read news at the same time :-). I am also considering a D/A
version, though that will have to wait a while (start work on it at the end
of the summer?).
	Anyways, to all those who have expressed interest in the project, many
thanks. Your encouragement it greatly appreciated.

						Thanks,

Don't keep UW a secret. If it is available for ST, I think many of us would
like to know about it. Please post any news about UW to the net.

		Thanks,

I have gotten a version of UW with an assurance from the poster that
it (or at least the version i have) is PD and distributable, as soon
as i verify a little more thoroughly than spacewars that it works
etc. i will post it to comp.*.atari.st
