Oh great lord of NetNews, accept this sacrificial line and do not cease
my message!

    I think you might want to look into The Programmer's Shop in Dedham,
Ma.  I have worked with them looking for software for the NEC APC, a
machine most companies have not even heard of.  Worse, i was looking for
things like Prolog, Modula II, Lisp, ...  (and also Final Word).  They
have been VERY courteous, found dealers and compainies for me that i had
never heard of, initiated an order before receiving my check (but
indicated that they don't like doing so).  Their stated policy is that
any piece of software they can find will be sold at a discount, even if
you are the only person ever to order it from them.  And their on-hand
stock seems rather large, especially in C complers.  Unfortunately they
mostly don't handle hardware (a few of the most popular IBM extension
cards and that's about it).  For current prices, call them up and/or
look in any recent copy of Info World.

    Within Massachusetts, their number is (800) 442-8070.  Out of state
try (800) 421-8006.  I don't have the address on me right now.
