He was just over at my house a week ago, to see my Amiga and talk to me about his upcoming port of Prolog to that machine. We used to work together several years ago and I have a lot of confidence in his technical abilities. So if his package interests you, don't let the marketing issues deter you. (I have no association with him or his company other than being a longtime personal friend). I've cross posted to comp.sys.amiga since they may be interested to know that a port is pending for that machine. -Fred (inews defeater) (inews defeater) (inews defeater) (inews defeater) (inews defeater) (inews defeater) (inews defeater) -- = Drug tests; just say *NO*! = Fred Fish Motorola Computer Division, 3013 S 52nd St, Tempe, Az 85282 USA = seismo!noao!mcdsun!fnf (602) 438-5976
