The following seems to have gotten mangled in transmission the last time I sent it out. So I am submitting it again. Sorry if you have alread seen it. I just talked to somebody at MANX (Sorry! I didn't get his name.) about the prodos version of Aztec C. He said that they were shooting for getting it out by Christmas. He also said that the upgrade to the prodos version from the dos3.3 version would run 100 dollars. That makes 300 dollars for the whole package. 300 dollars was also the price he mentioned for the package itself if you didn't already have the dos3.3 version. However, he also said something very interesting. The prodos version would not include the source for the dos3.3 librarys. If you want them you should ask for the 'professional' version, which would cost 400 dollars. The the prodos 'personal' version would only include the source for the prodos library. He speculated that the 'professional' package would also include the 'Z' editor (which he described as a vi-lookalike) It sounds like, unless you really want the Z editor, you should not wait for christmas, but buy now and get the add on package at christmas. The price will be the same, and you will get the dos3.3 library source as a bonus. Adding fuel to the flames! Rick Thomas abnjh!usenet or btlunix!rbt
