- What someone needs to do is to compile TPU's for others. or set
- up a dial up system or email-accessed system that will take and compile TPUs
- in any version TP and the return them. Whoever does this will have to have
- some sort of license agreement to not use/copy/modify/touch the source code
- coming in.

- Is there any interest in something like this? If so I can probably set this
- up..accessed via E-Mail at first, and then dial up later.
