It seems it has died - some of the members wanted to support embedded
processors instead. The rest of us (myself included) seem to have become
bogged down in other projects (like ones that pay the rent).

The other issue here is that both StonyBrook and GPM are in the process of
releasing compilers for 32 bit OS/2. Since they are relatively inexpensive
(and perhaps free to academic users) our work would be superfluous.

If the thread comes up again I am sure that everyone originally involved
would still be able and willing to devote some time to it.

How about that everyone?
