This is really good advice (how many people saw MS Fortran?) but,
seriously, how good are MS OS's?  *Especially* when you have

I think that when applications start coming out for OS/2, we may find
that all of the things people have been complaining to uSoft about
concerning their languages will show up concerning their new pet
operating system.

Only time will tell, but I know where I'm putting my money.
