An admirable goal.  However I think there is a big difference between
a patch and a port.  Some of us need to get it running first.

I have a keen interest in shape as it may provide a basis for resolution
of some problems I have.  Unfortunately, there seems to be no
support for us System V folks and I presently do not have the time to
tackle it myself.  

If anyone can provide the diffs to get going on System V machines, I for
one have a *STRONG* interest in getting something that I can compile and 
run.  We can discuss patches later.

Tony, my e-mail address is below.  Put me on your mailing list.
