There's an article in this week's Digital Review announcing Digital's
intention to place the Trellis object oriented language system in the 
public domain (the language specification and type library).  I don't
have the article right in from of me, but interesting reading for those
interested in Trellis, especially those who thought it was a  'proprietary' 
language.  Also, a discussion of Trellis vis-a-vis Smalltalk, Eiffel and
C++.
