Back in May 95, I contacted Chris Winter of Styx Technologies, the 
North American distributor for ST/X. At that time he replied:


	... Currently, Smalltalk/X is in the final stages of an extensive Beta
	testing program. Until this is complete, and all feedback from the
	Beta testers has been analysed and addressed in the product, we will
	not be making it available to the general public.

	We anticipate that we will start shipping the commercial version in
	July or August (of 1995 :-)


I have been trying to contact Chris since August, but have had no luck. I
am very interested in purchasing ST/X when it is available. If
anyone has any information on how to contact Chris or Claus Gittinger,
the creater of ST/X, I would really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks,

 -John
