Subject: What Happened to Micro C?

Ross Alford (zlraa@iceman.jcu.oz) asks:

| My user group had a subscription to Micro Cornucopia.  Last month,
| we got a letter advising us simply that it has ceased publication,
| and offering us Computer Language (I think) as a replacement.  There
| was no explanation, of course.  What happened?  I have been quite fond
| of Micro C's slightly offbeat approach since their early days of Big
| Board and Kaypro support, and they were still marginally supporting
| CP/M.  Anyone know any more?  Are the people involved going to start
| another journal?

From what was written in the letter and final issue of the magazine,
I'd have to surmise that Dave Thompson (the Editor) suffered a rather
severe case of burn-out.  He seems to have lost all desire to continue
with MicroC.  No, they claim that there are no plans to start another
journal.  They are selling off back issues, some equipment, etc.  It
looks final.  Bummer!
