- Some people at the CMU computer club were considering it but as far as
- I know they didn't get vary far.
-
- A group of people on the internet have been looking at it for a while
- now and just recently some real action has begun. If you're interested
- in following the progress of this port and are interested in joining
- the mailing list I suggest you mail:

- It'll be a few months yet. It'll come standard with BSD 4.4 and after
- a little more work could do a decent AmigaDOS emulation so you can run
- UNIX and AmigaDOS side by side.
