Hi Murray,

I will check that the existing visual generator either isn't being
replaced or can still be used with the next release. Since the VA C++
generator took ages to start on my machine, it would be too unwieldy
for serious use with 'only' 32MB of RAM. At least C/C++ can be
generated by VisPro tools; these are a lot slimmer than the Visual Age
generator, both in requirements and functionality.

At one time Hockware asked me about a VisPro PL/I. That would be an
interesting product. I don't think Hockware has any PL/I developers
though. ... :-(

BTW, how is your multi-threaded test program coming along? Have you
managed to get it to read a 'single' keystroke yet?

I must have been in a "contemplative" mood when I wrote it. [Probably
had a hang-over.]
