I have written an experimental distributed shared memory system that runs under FreeBSD 1.1.5.1. I was planning on making it available on the net, but I have not found the time to do the sort of more extensive exercising of it that I wanted to do before releasing it (also, I made the mistake of trying to get a student to write the exerciser programs for it and I didn't get anything useful out of it). Of course, now there is also the issue of porting it to 2.1. I am still interested in working on this, and if I heard that there were people who were really interested, that might motivate me to give it a higher priority. - Gene Stark
