Is it out there? Does it run on a Mac+? (yes, I know that context-switching would be slow without the MMU, but it would be worthwhile anyway). 3) What kind of utilities are available, and are Mac applications still accessable and runnable? 4) What kind or support does the author provide? I would greatly appreciate any correspondance from people who actually have this mythical Mac version up and running. pete -- =========================================================================== Pete Keleher pete@titan.rice.edu Rice University knows nuttin about what I say, or what I do ... ===========================================================================
