Conor O'Neill asks "where are they now?" and mentions a small group of
regular contributors to the newsgroup whose whereabouts is therefore known.
This prompts me to let you know that I am still at UKC, but maybe not
for long as my contract runs out at the end of February, and I cannot yet
see its successor emerging from anywhere.

So if any one knows of anyone who needs occam programs written, occam
compilers retargetted, or even occam programs converted into C, please let me
know.

It is some while since anyone bought a license to use my PC occam system,
which is not surprising since it does not really understand about
Windows 95 or NT, although there do exist dervide versions which do to
a limited extent.

I should be happy to receive suggestions as to what could usefully
happen to this software, especially any that might put a few pennies in
my direction, directly or indirectly.

Like other recent contributors to this newsgroup, I believe that the
ideas embodied in the transputer and occam deserve to survive the end of
ST's involvement and am personally very keen to participate in this
survival.

Which other old INMOS people read this newsgroup regularly and are
therefore also interested in this survival, I wonder?
