	The UCSD p-System is alive and well, under the tender care of Pecan
Software Systems, 1410 - 39th St., Brooklyn NY 11218; (718) 851-3100.  The
system is a p-code _interpreter_, has debuggers, native-code generators, and
assemblers for various cpus, from the PDP-11 through the 68k.

	There is a UNIX-hosted implementation, which should run just fine on
68000-based boxes.  Other languages available include Modula-2, FORTRAN, and
BASIC.  A great deal of applications software from numerous vendors is also
available.

	Pecan's ads (not the finest or the most artistic) run in BYTE and 
several other magazines.  Prices range from about $100 - $2k, depending on
machine, bells and whistles.

	There is a large and active UCSD p-System Users' Society, with a Forum
on CompuServe and an occasional newsletter -- much chatter and technical tips
go on.  (I'm the Chaircritter of the Board this year.)
