Twas MIT actually. I know that John Kohl had to go through a lot of work to be able to distribute the binary version of the port (and even then, your AFS admin is the only one who's allowed to download it). >I've seen the AFS 4 source code at a previous employer, and it's >pretty scary in there, a maze of #ifdefs, all alike..

Too bad that even in the future they never cleaned up the source code; it's still as ugly now as it is then. --Ken
