True, some were interested in the port, but no one else was able to help
out with the code or the issues I was having.  Now we have three others
(maybe more) plus my self willing to work on the code.  We're finally
getting a critical mass together to get things moving forward. 
Unfortunately, maintaining the code across existing platforms may suffer
short term.  Longer term, I expect the Linux / Unix port to also compile
and run under OS/2 using the EMX GNU C compiler, and probably similar for
Win32.  Yes, this stradegy will probably mean the dropping of plain DOS
support in future versions.  But I believe we now have the critical mass of
software developers to get things moving.  The stradegy I was taking wasn't
working.  The other three took a stradegy I was considering, but was
holding off on while trying to get a different way of handling the code
working.....

Any way, thanks for the note....

Take care.....
