I have a copy of ISODE 8.0 from a site in Germany. I think it was the last
free version. My problem's been that I can't find enough documentation to
figure out how to set the dang thing up if I were to get it to compile. So
I haven't tried hard. My bad.

Hmm. I've asked a few times if anyone's running ANY of these stacks, and
gotten no response (other than a few tell me if you find someone else
using them too ones).

Take care,
