About the OSSI authors:

Ed Biagioni is moving to Japan. Klaus Hinrichs is moving to the University of
Siegen/West Germany; his long-time mail address is hinrichs@cs.unc.edu.
Gernot Heiser can be reached at {uunet,mcvax...}!iis!heiser on UUCP and
heiser@ifi.ethz.ch on CSNET. Carlo Muller's address is cs3@research.abb.ch
on CSNET.

Recently, we (i.e. the ABB Research Center) acquired the rights to further
develop and distribute the OSSI standard interface. Currently the optional
part of OSSI is being revised, expanded and implemented on VAXstation and
Macintosh II machines. This includes graphics, events and menus (see e.g.
"OSSI - A Portable Operating System Interface and Utility Library for Modula-2",
report # 79 of the 'Institut fuer Informatik', ETH Zurich, second edition,
April 1987) and additions like colors.

One task of our computer science department is to support Modula-2 programming
on various target machines (mostly VAXes, PCs and Macs). One of the OSSI
authors, Carlo Muller, is working here, and another, Klaus Hinrichs, did so
for one year. For more information about OSSI, please e-mail to the
User Interface Software group at cs2@research.abb.ch on CSNET.
