I don't have have the first article of this thread floating around anymore,
but please note that "U of M" doesn't refer to The University of Maryland.
We use and break our 0.8 units quite often.

Of course, unless this source code issue is resolved, it may make little
difference as the campus population as a whole may never see any in our
workstations labs.

I invite *anyone* in the NeXT organization to contact me with a definitive
position on source code.
