- Well, "mid of 1996" (as proposed by phase5) perhaps is ASAP.
- And they do seem to go the way you described.

- I guess, that there's still a lot assembler - and even if there's
- mostly C code, that does not mean, that is is really portable
- (hardware- and compiler-independent).
-
- If the new StormC-Compiler would be able to compile "deeply working
- in the system"-code of SAS/C (so being compatible to all of its
- features like __asm arguments, __saveds and #pragmas) it should
- be much easier to be ported.
