    It was announced a short time ago.

    If it is only the one page (printing on both sides) overview, it won't
provide much more in the way of detail than was provided in an earlier
posting to this newsgroup:

Talk to Steve Lavine @ (800) 822-7880.  Friday he told me: It does
run under ST80 on Suns under SunView, it is under development, alpha
test in December, Beta in Jan, ship in mid 2nd Qtr '89.

Currently it uses cfront, provides ST80 environment and tools for
C++ development: editor, browser, "incremental linking", "incremental
compilation" <- I don't quite know what they really mean by this:
and automatic dependency "control", again, I'm not sure from the
one page blurb they handed out at OOPSLA'88.

Sounds interesting, were may be an alpha site, probably a beta site,
and I'm sure we will buy some licenses here at JPL.

disclaimer: I don't have any vested interest in ParcPlace systems,
and I'm not yet a customer: might be someday, tho'
