Since I haven't seen much discussion recently regarding the latest dates for
updates, I'll ask what are (to me) three burning questions:

	1. What is the latest estimate for release of DOS 1.2 (last I heard 
	was sometime in November).

	2. Same question for the Manx upgrade. I saw an article about a
	month and a half ago in which a considerable amount of information
	regarding the "next release" was discussed. (I think this
	information was obtained from the Manx BBS) Is there any other new
	information we avid Manx fans should know about?

	3. Will the debugger mentioned in the documentation for 3.20a as
	being "included in the next release of the compiler" a) actually be
	included (as opposed to another purchase), and b) be something
	closer to a "c" source language debugger, a la MicroSoft CodeView
	for the PC? If not b) then does such a beastie exist yet for the
	Amiga, and how can I get it? (I'm getting real tired of running the
	debugger on a program which I know very well is going to crash the
	box to try to determine where I went wrong, then not being able
	to kill the process before the inevitable happens.)

New subject. Another question:

	1. I have the Fish disk (#21 I think) with the Mandelbrot explorer
	on it. Until I tried it, I was under the impression that only
	pull-down menus were supported under AmigaDOS, but the explorer
	program on this disk uses a pop-up menu.

	Did they have to implement this themselves, or have I missed
	something? If pop-up menus are not supported under 1.1, will they be
	supported under 1.2? If not, can I get in an early request for 1.3?
