Mark Williams company is still operating (MUCH MUCH more successfully than
ever).  They seem less inclined to do anything for the ST as time goes on,
but their commitment to continue supporting the products they've already sold
seems firm.  Their present flagship product is the COHERENT operating system
for PCs (a small, modular UNIX-alike).

I got some particulars mixed up in a previous message (now cancelled).  They've
changed phone numbers again, and I think they've moved, but they're still in
the suburbs, not back in Chicago.  Anyway, if you call the main number 
(708)291-6700 and say you need support for their C compiler for the Atari ST,
you should do alright.  What you get is going to be essentially whatever a
bright guy who hasn't used the ST C compiler lately (or perhaps ever) can
give you with online access to the source code and the problem reports/fixes
database.  That's enough for most stuff that'll come up.
