However, due to the uncertainty of the market, the Institute's management has decided to suspend new development on the Amiga-specific parts of the product. This policy will remain in effect until changes in the market warrant reconsideration. Development will continue on those portions of the product that are used on other platforms, including the code generator, the global and peephole optimizers, the C++ translator, and the debugger. If we see a viable Amiga market in the future, we will be in a good position to produce a new release for it with a minimum of lost time. Also in response to the Commodore announcements and many user suggestions, SAS Institute Inc. announces the following new prices for the SAS/C Development System with C++, effective immediately: Version 6.50...................$199.00 Upgrade from Version 6...........59.00 Upgrade from Version 5...........99.50 Upgrade from Version 4...........99.50 Academic discount................99.50 Manx trade-in offer..............99.50 These prices are in US dollars and do not include shipping charges. Customers outside the US, please contact your local SAS Institute office or your nearest Amiga distributor for prices in your area. We do not plan to send a mailing to registered users, so please take the initiative to contact SAS Institute if you would like to take advantage of the new upgrade price. If you have comments or suggestions about our development policy, please send email to "ts4sasca@unx.sas.com" or write to Amiga C Marketing SAS Institute Inc. SAS Campus Drive Cary, NC 27513 Please do NOT send email to me, Jim Cooper, Steve Krueger, Khristi Tomlinson, Diane Gomez, or Gerlinde Schuster with suggestions for future development plans or product offerings. We will just ask you to go through one of the above channels. On a personal note, I'd like to add that I plan on keeping my Amiga and supporting the Amiga community in any way possible. I've been an Amiga developer since March of 1986, and I'd hate to see it go. Look for a new release of parnet soon 8^) Doug Walker Manager, Amiga Product Development SAS Institute Inc.
