I called Whitesmith's, Ltd. the other day to check on their potential
support of the 8086 family and found out the following:
They will shortly (April...) have a stand alone 'C' development system
available for the Pro-350. At about the same time, a version of Idris
(their Unix look-alike) will also be available for the Pros. I do not
know whether they will retain the menu format.
They will be supporting the 8086 family with a compiler, making my choice
between the IBM PC and the DEC Pros just that much more difficult.
(Release of the compiler is March...April) Any comments are welcome.
