The company is White *Pine* Software Inc., in Amherst, *New
Hampshire*. (White Plains is in New York. There is an Amherst, MA,
but there's one in New Hampshire, too.)
White Pine already has some terminal emulation and other
communications software for the Mac. Their X11 product runs native on
the Mac (i.e., it's not an A/UX program) and is supposed to support
Multifinder. "Company president Samuel Solon ... does not expect
volume sales until late 1988 or early 1989."

On two occasions I have been asked, "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put
into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?"
