We occasionally make comments here about our general emphasis, but
right now we need to see where our next block of money comes from.  It
is expensive to pay the kind of programmers that work on Executor and
we periodically have to search for funds.  We hope to be able to
bootstrap ourselves with E2 sales in the worst case, but getting
mezzanine financing or a partnership with a larger company would make
things much easier on everyone.

That said, a native Win32 port is very high priority.  The two things
that are higher than that are getting E2 out the door (almost done)
and a bunch of code restructuring (which will allow new employees to
come up to speed faster and also allow Executor to be ported more
easily).
