- A C++ compiler, in whatever form, would be absolutely terrific. Since Acorn
- (when I asked them) said they had no plans for such a compiler, I would
- assume that whoever did bring one out would become very popular.

- Oh, has anyone heard of a language by the name of PROMELA? It's a kind of
- 'C'-based communications specification language and in the next few months
- I'll be porting it to the Arc. If anyone's interested, give me a bell...
