That's great; I'm glad there haven't been any major problems.

Wow, everyone is scattering.  Do you have new email address for Jean
and Dave?

Please extend our best wishes to all of the R2 users -- including yourself
of course -- in your various new careers.

I have a MacOS X box -- but I haven't booted it up in about a year, so
I really have no idea as to the current state of the GNU tools there.
I do know that Apple has a large and proficient compiler group, and that
they're working on a variety of projects, but I don't know the details.
