At this point, : what else is there to see? : Excellent, Let's get something straight. In all our minds, the code that will be (is on) the CD-ROM is "in production". Cutting to the chase, and I'm not pitching more (cow pies), the code has not seen the literal light of day. There are, as of this time, no reviews (no persons have seen the code outside of Bill & Lynn and a few select.) To answer your question, now, (let's hope someone takes me seriously) I did video tape the meeting and I have some notes taken from Bill's overhead slides. These notes are in a different thread.

How many postings over the last three years of : 386BSD...? Let's tally that up, eh? : OK, we're on the right track now, I think.
