You know, it really would be much better if you *finished* this one first, then submitted it. :-) In matters concerning VM systems or entirely new device drivers, incremental "just toss it out on the populace" development has a certain merit - it allows others to share in what is a complex task. In matters involving "ports", I see the situation as somewhat less complex than that. :-) I'd be just as likely to start over with the fresh exmh distribution and a blank Makefile as I would be to start with someone else's half-finished work. It's just too much of a toss-up when the body of work is that small! Sorry, Julian, you're just not getting away with this little wimp-out - I happen to know already that you've got the spare time to do a proper job of it. :-) Jordan
