   Is anyone using Sam? ...

Yes, many of us picked it up from the toolchest sometime ago. Nice to see
that it is now available to public at large.

			... Is anyone working on extending it?

I do not know, but I hope that if someone wants to "extend" it, he/she
[a] does not misrepresent the original in any way, [for example, by calling
the "extended" version "sam"], [b] spends some time thinking thorough the
reasons for extending, or to put it differently, gives at least as much
thought as Pike did.

I happen to think that the best thing to do is to borrow the good
ideas from "sam", and rewrite it. [Peter DaSilva has all the fun]
