I don't get access to the US Atari mags (sniff sniff boo hoo), so any
continued information on if/when/whether OS/9 will be available is
always nice.

What I did get two days ago is an offer of the Lattice C-compiler.
Has anyone any experience on whether this is better than the Hippo one?
I have seen the Whetstone figures for the Atari, but do not know which
compiler they used.
