- Free software comes when people who want something want it bad enough to
- go do it themselves. There is certainly no impetus for most RT users in
- the academic community to do it; they almost all use AOS/4.3BSD (to the
- extent that the RT is still used at all.) I'm sure there are qualified
- people who use AIX 2.x for the RT out there. Maybe they just don't read
- this newsgroup, or they don't care.
