Neither, it has been decided NOT to go to the 900 number for tech supprt,
due to customer input.  The old number (708)916-1100 is still good.

No SAS Institute employee has ever said, on the net or elsewhere, that
we were planning on shipping a C++ product in October 1990.  This is
patently false.  We have never had an internal deadline of October 1990,
much less a scheduled product announcement.  We have only been working
on the Amiga C++ port of our in-house C++ compiler since we took over
the Amiga product in July 1990, so a ship date of October would be 
totally off the wall.

Second quarter 1991 is much more reasonable, but keep in mind that
even that date is not a product announcement, but only an internal
target.
