We were offered the privelege of being a beta site and free software! Sighhhh, after a very depressing meeting I was told no one had time to install v8.0 of the O.S. which was required. I think it arrived about a week ago. Believe me I made every effort, including asking to do it myself! I even ported C++ 1.2 translator to the Convex way back when we first got it! But now the question.. will they or won't they? Will Convex be doing a real compiler or will they just stick with the translator? Will they be doing anything at all. -- Peter -- Peter W.
