Have you checked recently? The GCC compiler is taking the world by storm, and G++ is very likely to. FSF has received attention in the _New York Times_ and in the _Boston Globe_, and clients of my company have begun to ask about GNU products. Indeed, the biggest threat to Ultrix, the OSF, and the Sun/BSD operating systems may turn out to be the FSF whenever it releases a full-fledged operating system. I'm just hoping it puts forward some completely new ideas, rather than just being another Unix clone. -rich
