I know the days of my 680x0 PowerBook are numbered. Nonetheless I must say
that I am a bit disappointed that support for it has been dropped without a
clear notice in what  seems to be a minor update (certainly minor if you
are a Macintosh user).

And, as it remains possible to generate 680x0 programs on a PowerMac, I am
wondering what is so costly about porting the corresponding sources to
680x0?

Other than that, I am a happy Clean user.

>Clean 1.3.3 for Linux (including the new ExtendedArith library) will be

>be added as it is usual with release date statements)

Ahum, I guess I will not put that date in my agenda...

cheers,
