It was just an idle speculation that I probably should have left out. When I met Kirk while he was over here on a conference tour, he certainly cared about things like BSD in general, so I'd be extremely suprised if this was a "completely under wraps" deal. I'm sorry I opened my mouth, but it is something we need to keep in mind though. We shouldn't make long-term decisions counting on code that we don't have in hand. Cheers, -Peter
