The FSF is not going to support any software on AUX because of the
danger posed to future free software development by Apple's lawsuit.

For more information about the lawsuit and the harm it can do,
ask league@prep.ai.mit.edu for the position paper, "Against User
Interface Copyright".

To those of you who might find out about any ports to AUX: I hope you
will not recommend them to anyone else.  Third-party software plays an
important role in making a system successful.  To encourage use by
others of any software for an Apple system is to contribute directly
to Apple's sales activities.

  Apple is paying a price for it's lawsuit!  Any comments??
