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in trouble for a while; their earlier flashy adds had been replaced by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.
