    i spoke to the folks at A-Squared, and they indicated that they were
starting to ship to distributers as of last friday.  the guy i spoke to
implied that this was a port of a MacVersion, except for a few enhancements
to the amy version made during the port.  he claimed that it is probably 
the strongest playing program of the 'pc' level.  list price: $55
he was happy to sell me one over the phone, but suggested i wait until
it shows up on the local shelves at the usual 10% or so off.
