There are no immediate plans, but Mat is working on a new synthetic
CPU that would make a port to the Alpha easier than it would be
currently.  We are also pursuing a degree of cooperation with Apple
that could result in an Alpha port down the road.

If we ever have spare time again (and we don't have any now) and we
can find a cheap machine we might do an internal port for yucks, but I
don't see that happening in 1996.
