Y'know, I've been thinking about this... Folks are saying that the next
release of Coherent will have *loads* of stuff it doesn't have yet:
1.) Graphics support
2.) The GNU GCC compiler
3.) TCP/IP Networking
4.) Sockets
5.) X Windows
That's a pretty big leap when you compare it to the improvements made from
the last version to the present one. Where do you suppose the MWC is going
to *get* all that code from? Are they dealing with Satan? or *worse*...
Filching code from Linux and/or 386BSD to call it your own is a big no-no.
