There's been some stuff recently on the transputer mailing list about
the T9000, but I've haven't seen much about what INMOS are doing about
occam implementations for the new chip.

What's happened to the occam 2.1, 3 and 91 projects David May mentioned
in the interview in "Program Now" last month? 

Presumably there will be a (at least slightly) revised occam 2 to handle
the T9000's mysterious "shared channels" and without the now-obsolete "PLACE"
statement?

Are INMOS going to continue with their ridiculous TDS or will there just
be an occam toolset for the T9?

Somebody spill the beans please!

Objection ! some of us find TDS useful (and I was glad to see that some people
at Transputing 91 were prepared to stand up and say so). 

What would be nice is if TDS could be made to call the toolset compiler somehow
so that those of us who are using TDS could just slot in a new toolset
compiler when one was released and yet still be able to work with TDS.

Easy upgrades - what a nice idea.

sigh...
