Terence, I find that statement quite offensive as well as wildly inaccurate.

I just got to read this. I'm sorry I am late responding.

There was no intention of implying (which I don't think I did), that
Steve would refuse to help.
That would be very unllikely of me since I have about 30 private notes
form Steve in trying help me with the CVF/DVF compiler and also with
the later Intel Version 9 (which I didn't manage to install). So just
the opposite from my own experience!

The form of my words were meant to suggest that Steve now worked for
another compiler manufacturer (Intel) distinct from Compaq or Digital,
and it might become difficult for him to officially advise on re-
installing a second-hand compiler from his previous company on
someone else's computer.

My guess was that he would not respond to the postings, (which seemed
to have happened, see above), until someone else started to stir
things

Therfore I hinted that writing privately and not to the Forum might
produce results - and I meant, from Steve himself!!

To Steve: I'm sorry you interpreted my words that way. Two of my
previous professions were as as editor of a scientific (and precise)
journal, and one as active director of a newpaper. I also wrote a
guide to London. I thought that apart from typos on this tiny screen,
my use of words was exact.

There was nothing "widely inaccurate" in MY words, only those put in
my mouth.
I got the details of where the person and compiler were, correctly. No
other statement was declarative1.
