- In Executor 2 we have done as little as possible to implement
- WorldScript. We have had to implement a bunch of it just to get some
- apps to run. We need more engineers and the way to do that is to get
- E2 out the door.

-
- Internally it's exceedingly similar because many programs count on the
- internal data structures being the same. However, WorldScript is big
- enough that it still won't be just "a few modifications".
-
- Craig> BTW, is ARDI hiring? *grin*
-
- Not until we are able to pay our engineers for some of the work that
- was done for future money. Even then we have a bunch of engineers
- that would get first crack at any job openings we may come up with.
- Mat has some pretty impressive friends.
-
- In all honesty so far it's been exceedingly long hours with very
- little pay. However, if E2 is good enough to get wide distribution
- (and we're working real hard on that) we should be able to repay our
- original engineers and hire some more.
