Well, I think perhaps smoking source code tightly rolled in old 96 column
cards might get some of the general hacker types off, but on to more serious
issues:

Let's have a vote, Greg - please tally same.

I've volunteered to provide annonymous uucp access, coordination or assistance
in debugging/verifying 286 XENIX (SCO 2.2.1) Elm.

I currently have Elm 1.7 running under XENIX and would be more than happy to
share it for those who don't want to wait for 2.0

I am working on the 2.0 release (?) that I uucp'd from killer a while back.
as soon as I can get past the @#!$% segmentation/stack/heap problems under
XENIX compiler I will be more than happy to make it available too.

Let's get together on this issue, hack the hell out of the code (1.7/2.0), and
make the code available to anyone who wants it. I think that this could result
in an evolution for Elm and perhaps serve as an example to the net of a
cooperative project that works.

Thanks Greg for your attempts to get people together on this - I think it's
working!
