Supporting the development of MCL



Dear MCL Users,

Since the announcement of Digitool's acquisition of MCL and our plans for
the release of MCL 3.0 for 680X0 Macs, a student edition of MCL, and a
PowerPC release based on MCL 3.0, we have received numerous inquiries
regarding additional functionality.  These have included inquiries about
CLIM, WOOD, and Mac OS features such as AOCE and OpenDoc.

Your enthusiastic response is very encouraging.  There is a clear demand
for the continued development and improvement of MCL-based tools, and we
realize that they are critical to MCL's future.  The PowerPC release is
Digitool's immediate priority, and is assured by the funding commitments of
our sponsors.  We will undertake related development activities in parallel
as a function of additional resources becoming available to us.

We would like to extend the opportunity to the MCL community to further
support our effort and to further expand our MCL development activities.
If you are interested in seeing additional development along with the port
of MCL to the PowerPC, please consider participating via one of the
following three ways by December 25, 1994.  The commitments we receive by
the end of this calendar year, will allow us to establish and announce
early on further development activities.


1)  Order your $135 upgrade to MCL 3.0 for 680x0 Macs by December 25, 1994
and receive a $35 discount on the subsequent upgrade to the PowerPC release
of MCL (under $200).  Version 3.0 for 68K Macs is expected to be released
in the first half of 1995.

** Advance upgrade orders must be sent directly to Digitool (details below). **


2)  Order or renew an MCL site license by December 25, 1994.  Digitool will
in turn guarantee the extension of your 12-month subscription license to
include the first release of MCL for the Power Macintosh.

        SITE LICENSE TYPE       INITIAL        RENEWAL       REINSTATEMENT
        Limited territory        $2,500          $625           $1,250

3)  Join the group of current MCL corporate sponsors and receive benefits
similar to those of our charter sponsors, such as early access to MCL
versions.

Thank you for your continued support of MCL.

Sincerely,

Hazem Sayed
President
