Tim knows about Jordan, despite his message. We've repeatedly tried to get them interested in BSD, but there's something at ORA that resists. I suspect it's not Tim (who lives in California), but somebody on the East Coast. I've just about given up with ORA. They seem to be relinquishing their position as the favourite UNIX publisher and chasing the NT crowd. I'm surprised they even had this "summit".
