Thanks. — Art I talked to Jim Olinger of Armadillo Computing this weekend. Evidently he has bought Benchmark from Leon Frenkel, and plans to upgrade it in the future. He mentioned code generation for 68020+ processors and double precision floating point support. I'm hoping we can work something out so that his company will use the AmigaDOS 2.04 interface modules I developed for Benchmark, and can spend their resources on compiler improvements. > Fm: Wayne Cole 76370,621 > To: Art Steinmetz 76044,3204 (X) > > I wonder if they also got the rights to M2Sprint!

It does not appear that M2Sprint was part of the deal, but you should check with Armadillo Computing. > The new company name is probably Leon just pulling another scam/dodge :^/ I don't think so. It seems that Mr. Olinger has made a big commitment in buying Benchmark. I hope he can make it pay off. If you are interested in the product being improved, now is the time to express to Armadillo Computing your opinions and desires on what should be done. Jim Olinger is on Bix. The Internet style address I have is jolinger@bix.com. Tom Breeden 75210,2424
