Subject: [lauren: status report message]

Lauren Weinstein has sent me the following message regarding the
MARC software package.  For those of you who don't know, MARC is
an attempt to get as much of UNIX as you can on a 8080 based system.
This message was forwarded to me as list maintainer because he was
uncertain whether it would be viewed as a commercial statement and
thus be a prohibitted use of the DDN.  I find this note to be of the
informational type, which is one of the primary purposes of this list
and therefore am forwarding it on his behalf.

Mr Weinstein's mailing address is:

A very brief status report on MARC:

Due to various technical problems, the rapidly advancing state of the
art in software and affordable hardware, and a variety of
marketing considerations, the MARC software project has been
terminated.  No further work is taking place on the software, and the
MARC software package will henceforth not be sold or distributed in
any manner.

Persons with specific questions on this topic may feel free to contact
me, but the decision is irrevocable.   Thanks much.

--Lauren--
