Certainly if these gentlemen decide to call us and ask, we'd be happy
to help; they can already download our code and distill most of the
useful information.

My belief, and I've said this before, is that it would take a Richard
Stallman and two Lawrence Kesteloots working together for a year to
crack the documentationless PowerMacs.  I think they, like other
teams I've heard were working on Mac UNIXs, will eventually give
up, much like we've almost done in the past.  I'd be willing to
reverse my position if I heard anything else from them than "we
plan to have a kernel in August" and "we have a cross-compiler
working."

(I haven't had a coke with sugar in it for days; I must be getting
grumpy.)
