I just read in my newest Current Notes that Prospero is "toning down" their
operations in the US.  I am unsure how this would bother owners of these 
compilers, as the company is still going strong in Britain (where it is based).
At worst, it would increase the cost of upgrades (postage to/from GB).  I am 
going to purchase Prospero C with my next paycheck, I have seen it for $89.
