Jeez. They sure know how to keep a promise. Too bad. They had a great M2
development system, but I think they opened their mouth too wide when they
started developing the multi-language environment. I think they should have
stayed in the M2 business and just kept polishing that diamond of an M2
compiler. With class extensions they could have moved on to Windows, replacing
ugly C with an M2 application framework. Point is that it should have been done 
four years ago. Now it's way too late. If you don't have a 32 bit compiler
to sell these days, you don't have what the majority of people want to buy.
