I've been swamped, or I would have actually seen what they have running so far, and could tell you something about it. -eric hopp hopp@stolaf.edu Well, things are mostly done. I'm thinking this weekend we'll actually try to link the entire thing, which will take a *long* time. We've been thinking of moving everything down to our friendly Amiga store to compile on an A3000 (evil grin...). There's little hope that it will work after we find all the functions we forgot to include or not include, but theoretically it ought to. Yeah, right..... Anyway, this project started in late January. Both Mark and I are graudating seniors, so we've been busy making sure we graduate and bowl at least once per week. An optimistic release date, probably with bugs, will be in two weeks (Finals? Who needs to study for finals?). -Scott -- Scott Fritchie, Systems Programmer and Postmaster St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN 55057 USA Domain: fritchie@acc.stolaf.edu UUCP: ..!umn-cs!stolaf!fritchie "Yeah, boss, I'll be in late today.
