well, I think you ought to know what you are talking about before 
spreading the rumour that JPI is broke. I do not know their US
address, but they greeted me with a pleasant "JPI god afternoon, how can I
help you" a minute ago when I checked their UK (and main) office at

	int + 44 234 267500 voice
	int + 44 234 217094 fax

Try going back a few messages, there was a very similar question some days
ago with the new US address.

Clarion, Clarion, not Claris! Not bought up, but talks of merger.
Could make a killer product, see comments in Byte a few issues back.
Clarion is in database, 4th generation application generators.
Supposedly JPI would extend their compiler technology to Clarion,
and would gain database tecnology in return.

Maybe JPI cannot afford to run the flashy ads they did a year ago,
but they certainly deserve to survive. Their products are good and they
appear to have visions that can affect the computing business.
