  29. I am not sure if any have been released yet, but the program does still exist.
  30. You must bear in mind that IBM is a big, bureaucratic corporation whose Lawyers
  31. love to protect their internal stuff.  I understand that applications should be
  32. appearing soon (I know of several IBMers who have applications they are working
  33. on trying to release).
