Klaus Hinrichs is moving to the University of Siegen/West Germany; his long-time mail address is hinrichs@cs.unc.edu. Gernot Heiser can be reached at {uunet,mcvax...}!iis!heiser on UUCP and heiser@ifi.ethz.ch on CSNET. Carlo Muller's address is cs3@research.abb.ch on CSNET. Recently, we (i.e. the ABB Research Center) acquired the rights to further develop and distribute the OSSI standard interface. Currently the optional part of OSSI is being revised, expanded and implemented on VAXstation and Macintosh II machines. This includes graphics, events and menus (see e.g. "OSSI - A Portable Operating System Interface and Utility Library for Modula-2", report # 79 of the 'Institut fuer Informatik', ETH Zurich, second edition, April 1987) and additions like colors. One task of our computer science department is to support Modula-2 programming on various target machines (mostly VAXes, PCs and Macs). One of the OSSI authors, Carlo Muller, is working here, and another, Klaus Hinrichs, did so for one year. For more information about OSSI, please e-mail to the User Interface Software group at cs2@research.abb.ch on CSNET. -- Uwe Schult User Interface Software (CRBC2) ABB Research Center CH-5405 Baden/Switzerland Note: "I work for ABB".
