     Hi Henry,

     well, yes, I have a new position, because the last group I was
     responsible for was abolished (once again).

     The port of SIMULA under NT was done by the guys at the Oslo
     university who developed the virtual implementation in the first
     place. This was a scenario I failed to set up earlier as I said at the
     conference. They knew well that I was after this sort of thing so they
     let me know as soon as they got it working. This is not the S-port
     based system, neither it is related to any other DOS implementation.
     Beware though, it is a cross-compilation, not a native thing! I
     suggest that we do not spread the word yet, before Alain or someone
     else makes some sort of validation.

     Yes, I still hope to be able to make it to the conference. I was about
     to take the thing up with you. You know, it's the aniversary we should
     do something about. I realize that the economy does not allow for
     anything big, but what about if the ASU invites the old guys to tell
     some story? I am thinking about letting them in free for a paper, and
     coming on own budget. After all, this may be the last chance the lot
     ever meets, so they may be willing... The ASU in return gets hopefully
     an interesting program, which may again bring in more paying audience.
     For my part, I can offer a paper, a version of which I presented at
     TOOLS some time ago, it was very well accepted then.

     The last thing I wanted to mention to you is Eileen. Have you confered
     with Alain about some arrangement for getting her in? Once again, it's
     the aniversary she should not miss!

     Well, let me know what you think of this!

     Cheers...Karel

Hello Karel,

Nice to hear from you. You seem to have changed position within Tandberg Data
since we met last.

Yes everyone on the SIMULA Language List has received by accident a little
preview of a coming article. It was a very strange coincidence since someone
sending junk-mail broke into the list at the same time.

You must tell me who has ported SIMULA to NT ?  Is it the old slow S-port
version or is it one of the modern versions ? How did you find out about it ?
Is it supposed to be secret during the beta test ?

The deadline for abstracts is March 15th. I am writing mine right now. Will you
be coming? Will you be giving a paper? I hope so. I remember very well the
presentation you made in Pilsen about how great inventions and insights in one
field often come from other fields, because some bright person realized that
applications for something new were to be found i areas adjacent to his own.

As far as the rest of the conference is concerned everything is on track.

Cheers ... Henry
