  Seeing this, I quickly valted to the phone and let my fingers do the
walking.  The courtious person who answered said the compiler isn't
released yet.  It's currently undergoing "final betatesting" and
should be ready to be released in about two months.

  I for one will be very interested in seeing how "Laser C" holds up
to this new entry.  I've used Aztec on several other machines and have
found it to be a very professional, well written, -well-debugged-(!)
product.  If the ST version is anything like the other versions of
Aztec, Laser C may find a very stiff competitor waiting in the wings...
