I assume you did this by simply running "ibcs2"?

I know that FoxBase is reported to run with the latest set of iBCS2 changes
we've been playing with, but those are still not part of -current.  I'm
waiting for Steven to give them to me in a more "committable" form, but
I don't expect that this will take long.

The Linux emulation has made similar strides and apparently we're now even
running some Macintosh emulation software for Linux - I dunno much about this
since I don't run such things, myself.. :)

In any case, all I can say is that this is coming soon and I don't know
whether or not it'll be part of 2.1 by default but we'll almost certainly
have an "add on" kit available for ftp.
