To back-up what John says, "Yes!!", alex source will be made available, as will all of Digital's fixes/changes to the base MH that are useful outside of DEC: I'm just a lazy so-and-so!!!

Hobbes: Well...Say the object of your affection walks by... Calvin: yeah? Hobbes: First, your heart falls into your stomach and splashes your innards. All the moisture makes you sweat profusely. This condensation shorts the circuits to your brain and you get all woozy. When your brain burns out altogether, your mouth disengages and you babble like a cretin until she leaves. Calvin: THAT'S LOVE?!? Hobbes: Medically speaking. Calvin: Heck, that happened to ME once, but I figured it was cooties!!
