Hmm.  Oxxi Inc. Just released, in beta, with a full release scheduled
this month, a so-far-pretty-nice-looking M2 compiler for the Commodore
Amiga 1000, a 68K based machine.  Don't know if the company has any
leanings in the HP direction, but the author is on the net (Leon
Frenkel <ldf@killer.uucp>), so why not drop him a note?

Kent, the man from xanth.
