I believe you're right. I don't think Matt is planning to write a SysV
version, but since sources are included, some enterprising soul might be
able to come up with a SysV version with some time and effort.

I talked with Matt this evening and he's doing well. There wasn't a whole
lot of damage in the Berkeley area. More folks were scared than hurt.

The epicenter isn't too far away from Los Gatos. In the Santa Cruz mountains
near the reservoir. There is plenty of damage, and lots of hurt folks, but
from what I've been able to tell, no deaths and its gonna take a LOT of $$$
to get that area in shape again.

>Wasn't Commodore/Amiga West Coast located in Los Gatos?

Not sure, but don't Dale Luck and Rob Peck also live in Los Gatos? Funny
thing is when I heard the quake was centered in the Los Gatos region that
too was the first thought across my mind. ("I hope Amiga West, Boing (Dale
Luck), and Rob Peck made it through!")  ;-)
