au contrare'... the GIGO source code is available and has been ported... i
don't know how well the port works, though... i still use the original binaries
from jason on my OS/2 system...

  https://www.gigo.com/post/GIGO_History/

unfortunately the source code is not available from the ftp site linked in one
of the above articles... IIRC, our friend in Oz has a repo with the modified
code available... but, if not, i do have the original allsource.zip that jason
released back in '97 or '98... the archive is about 3Meg in size... one need
only ask ;)
