6 days, 6 weeks or 6 years, this is not important... What we really need now is
a war plan!
So, this is why I wrote many messages in the last 2/3 days.
Now, we have a better idea of what to do and where to start from, who is a
tester, and who can write code.

I have no fun, when I do not know what to do, when and where ;)

As I said it's not important 6 days, 6 weeks or 6 years. We can do a war plan
for the next 10 years, but we have to do it!

The first port will be unstable and not so good. The second one will be
rewritten usign the knowledge from the first port.
This is how I work. First try to do it, and try to understand how
everything works (sparc assembly, sparc architeture, and so on..)
Then we can do serious projects and coding. 8)
Thanks
