Hi Tom,

Good story. :-) I really laughed when I saw it... :-)
Irony?

Well, to be honest, I have been happy (gee, am I happy for
very little? I do not think so :-) with Digitalk support
after I purchased a CompuServe ident.

If I understand you right, the next VOS2 is near... Is it so?
Good news if it is.

Could you answer to these questions about VOS2:
1) Has the size of the stand-alone application DLLs gone up or 
   dow? How much?
2) Is it faster than VOS2 2.0?
3) Is it true that APIs will be really supported?
4) have you ever considered the possibility of ST/V -> C(++) compiler?
   Or at least a pruner to get the runtime app smaller?

If you do not feel like answering, then we'll wait and seem.

but thanks in advance,
