	AmigaDos 2.0 is nearly ready to go out the
	door; AREXX is included as an integral part
	of each & every copy.

	This means that in the next year or so you
	will have a potential audience of several
	million, a significant proportion of which
	would welcome such a development as your
	AREXX compiler.

AmigDos 2.0 has been shipping for some time, and it does come with
ARexx.

Way cool, man.

Did CBM buy ARexx from Hawes, or did they write their own?
