hey ! I did that while I was at UniSoft (RIP). Glad that _somebody_ thought
it was OK. I could probably wake up enough brain cells to say how it worked
(it was about 11 years ago). It was one of the more interesting projects
I worked on at the Munich office.
Spent the longest 3 months of my life in Eindhoven finishing up a port
to a 68020 system for Philips.
