AST is right. People do want to know about the port to different architectures. And it should be included in the current P-H package if P-H does not want to sell it separately. But P-H's position is very short-sited. One more binder that contained an ATARI-AMIGA version would help sell AST's book. Furthermore, not all students have a member of the IBM PC family. P-H should be experienced by now with dealing with software for different computers. But who knows? Maybe they really are incompetent!

They believe that an Amiga is like a Nintendo. It is for games only. Don't tell me otherwise. I can't convince them. It is true that very few universities have rooms full of Amigas, but plenty have IBM clones and in Europe, many have Ataris. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)
