Hi,

You're very welcome, Colin. Thank you for making this available. What I am
worried about is that many people on port-mac68k are NOT on current-users.
People may not be running -current, but might wnat to try upgrading.
Those people will miss a lot of discussion of problems and pitfalls. IMO,
documentation means letting one poor sucker make mistakes and then have
everyone else learn from those mistakes without having to go through the
same misery.

For those interested, 1.3-ALPHA is running fine on my IIcx, but my IIcx
doesn't do much more than serve web pages.
