As far as I am aware, JPI were bought out by Claris. I guess they had been in trouble for a while; their earlier flashy adds had been replaced by smaller, cheaper, less colourfull ones for about 8 monthe to a year beforehand. I don't recall whether Claris (I think it was Claris...) was going to continue supporting JPI products - I recall that they wanted the technology themselves for their own products, databases and stuff... Does anyone remember better? Actually I am not sure about the company name it could be Clarion or something - some company I didn't associate with compilers, anyhow. Chris
