Subject: long.crl fixed, BDS C news

I've uploaded "ar36:cpm;long 1crl" in proper binary format.
So far I've only gotten four self-addressed stamped 8" disks for v1.50
test version return. Here's something to tempt you with: David Kirkland's
symbolic C debugger is going out with each v1.50 beta test disk. So send
TWO 8" disks instead of one. This debugger does things like list out all
variables by name, local and external, knowing the difference between "i"
for different functions...prints out structures in their proper structure,
breakpoints by line-number-in-function and position-of-expression-in-line,
etc. etc. An incredibly neat hack.

Well, it's official: Lifeboat's exclusive is a thing of the past. They
signed the non-exlusive contract several days ago, going into effect
immediately. Thus, the BDS C User's Group is now selling the compiler
directly. I've had several inquiries for the address of the User's Group;
here it is:
       BDS C User's Group (Robert Ward: coordinator, Sheila: sec'y)
       PO Box 287
       Yates Center, Kansas 66783
       (316) 625-3554

Was visited today by Masa Tasaki, director of Lifeboat Japan. GOOD MAN. He's
working on breaking totally free from Lifeboat NY, and I did my part to help
by signing a direct distribution contract for BDS C in Japan (I gave him
an exclusive for Japan, but at least this time my contract has a 90-day
termination clause! I don't expect to use it. The guy was good vibes all
the way.)
       Sayonara,
