At last month's BADGE meeting, Jim Goodnow from Manx stated that the next release was due to go out the following Monday (that would've been 06/23/86, I believe). He also said it had support for FOUR floating-point implementations; as I recall, they are: 1 - Moto FFP 2 - IEEE (s/w implementation?) 3 - 68881 4 - Amiga FP (?) As you can see, I'm somewhat fuzzy on the details, and may have some of the above wrong ... the 68881 support is what I was waiting to hear about. Point is, there *is* a new release of Manx out, and it is supposed to be out now. Dunno about "bug fixes" ... Jim didn't say. /kim -- UUCP: {decvax,ucbvax,ihnp4}!decwrl!mips!kim DDD: 408-720-1700 x231 USPS: MIPS Computer Systems Inc, 930 E. Arques Av, Sunnyvale, CA 94086 CIS: 76535,25
