I've heard a rumor that Texas Instruments is going to get out of the shell game, that is, discontinue supporting PC Easy and PC Plus. Can this be true? Can the AI behemoth be backing out of the AI biz? What would Harry Tennant say? Come to think of it, I haven't seen his smiling face at a world-wide televised TI AI Symposium lately. Come to think of it, I haven't seen a world-wide televised TI AI Symposium lately either. I have an inquiring mind and I simply *must* know! john -- John C.

What I have it from inside sources that TI has had another major "LISP is dead" pogram and I wouldn't be surprised to see them shedding all kinds of things, particularly low-margin items. -- --Alan Wexelblat phone: (508)294-7485 Bull Worldwide Information Systems internet: wex@pws.bull.com "Politics is Comedy plus Pretense."
