X-Mailer: VM 6.33 under 19.14 XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG : OK. This agrees with what I've seen. Maybe they're just not the : world's best hackers. Is anybody interested in doing better? What : are the real problems with doing it right? It seems to me that the : most difficult one is getting documentation, but even a big API is : still finite. Comments? Sun closed down their WABI project before it produced a working Win32 interface. Someone should find out if they are willing to release the code under a BSD license. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
