 A scan of the -ppc archives for '03 should give a better picture of where
the project is up to. The system has been able to run multi-user on a limited
number of NewWorld models for a while, although installation is not pretty.

 After a bit of a break, I'm currently getting the system to work with the
recent gcc3.3 import. When that's done, I'll try and get the web pages updated.

later,

Peter.
