A fellow at Evans & Sutherland did a port a few months back but he never sent his changes and I've misplaced his email address. I know his machine's name so I sent a message to postmaster there, maybe he'll get in touch. Yes, I have ported a good portion of the ATK/AMS stuff. There is a problem with messages that I haven't worked out, and I have some disk problems right now that have prevented my finishing the port (even getting to all the necessary patches). I hope to have this problem resolved in the next couple of weeks. I will then try to get back to the port and finish getting messages working. I am currently using ez for all my editing on the system, so it is working to a point. I'll pass all my work back to Gary at the Consortium, and he can get it all together for release to everyone.
