Aucbvax.1710 fa.apollo utzoo!duke!mhtsa!ucbvax!mike@RAND-UNIX Sat Jun 13 12:40:23 1981 MESA on Star I have heard a rumor, from a source I trust, that MESA will be available to those who buy 50 or more Star's. I do not know if there will be a heavy price, nor do I know if this is a special deal to non- profit or educational institutions or special in some other way. There is someone on this list -- you know who you are -- who can confirm or deny this rumor authoritatively if he chooses to. In any case, I believe that MESA is a good systems programming language, but you can certainly kiss portability goodbye! ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
