Please let Vince know if you think Intermetrics ought to be keeping
the _Mac_ version of this compiler up to date with the rest. 

Inmet won the Academic Ada contract which required a Mac implementation
(among others) but subsequently changed the deliverables to eliminate
the Mac version ("small market", I suppose). 

"Well, we'll cover the Mac with AppletMagic", they said at the time.

Now they seem to be doing very little to the Mac version beyond the
initial release, which was a good start but is getting really behind
the other platforms.

Does anyone think there's a market for a Mac AppletMagic?
