Huh? Dos 5.0?  Gee, and I only had amigados 1.3 and msdos 4.0 just came out.
Whose DOS do you use?  Unix Sys V? <long ago, anyway.  Besides, did you ever hear of Lattice C 1.0, Aztec C

Anyway, when I called MicroSloth (sp? :-) The person I talked to said that
they couldn't comment on unreleased products.  So, does that mean that the
product does exist but they can't say anything about it? :-)

I just hope that this product for the amiga is better than the BASIC they
offer which has the SLOWEST editor I have EVER seen in my life!   It's worse
than TextCrud (I mean craft...)  It also has those anoying requesters that
require a mouse (dirty little rodent.)  Geeze Commodore, get on those guys
butts and have them rewrite the thing.  Their bad programming makes YOUR
machine look bad.  You put that cruddy thing on your distribution disks...
I do admit that I havent used basic since 1.1 though.

.signature gone until the filesystem where my home directory lies on gets
fixed.  A bad block won't let it mount.  And I thought the Amiga had disk
problems!!
