Unfortunately they've yanked the product. It was "too slow" according to a 
marketing person at the BaNG meeting last week. My comment to that was
"So what, you released PM just the same, why not NeXTStep"? But anyway,
it certainly ran well on an RS/6000. I was surprised to see that they
use the StepStone Objective-C compiler and not GNU.

Anyway...scratch that portable idea - I wanted to do that myself.
