In an article I received from my sponsor, (periodical not identified), 
Borland may drop Brief and ObjectVision. In the article, "Two Borland 
International Inc. products are in danger of extiction as stand-alone 
offerings. Brief, the popular program edir that Borland snapped up from 
Solution Systems this spring, and ObjectVision, a home grown enduser 
programming tool, may be victims of the recent layoffs and reorganization 
that swept through the Scotts Valley, Calif., software firm earlier this 
month, said sources close to the company.....Borland officials declined to 
comment on the status of Brief and ObjectVision. "Philippe [Kahn] is still 
determining what to keep and what not to keep," said a spokeswoman for the 
company."

Like many of you, I have a personal and professional interest in both Brief 
and ObjectVision. Any clarification of this article or updates to it would 
be appreciated.

I couldn't clarify the news. But re: Brief, don't worry.
I heard that "crisp" is a nice Brief clone. Actually it might be
better than Brief.
