I saw today in Electronic Engineering Times (12 Nov 84, p 101) an article
titled _New_Development_Software_May_Spur_Mac_Packages.  Included with the
article was a table listing 22 companies supplying languages for the Mac.
Those with entries in the C column are:

	Company				Phone

	Consulair Corp.			415-851-3849

	Hippopotamus			408-730-2601

	Manx Software			201-780-4004

	Mark Williams			312-472-6659	First Qtr 85

	Megamax, Inc.			214-987-4931

	Softworks, Ltd.			312-327-7666

I am not familiar with any of these.
