Uhh?! Lotus _ported_ Improv to NeXT? From where? To my knowledge, Improv
was _developed_ on NeXT platform. I have heard that they tried to
program Improv before, for O/S 2 or something else. But only after they
started to program on NeXT they could really make a working product out
of that... 

Better check your points.
