According to a SAS rep on CompuServe yesterday, 8 December, SAS intends to be 
involved in the Amiga C compiler market for quite some time into the future.
They have just released a patch to SAS C 5.10 (release is 5.10A), are working
on release 6.0 and a new C++ implementation.

A specific reference to your rumor might be useful.  This might apply to the
decision I believe was made several months ago to get out of the MS-DOS
market.
