Since XView is very similar to SunView, and since there is a Mushview,
the first thing you're going to see is an XView version of mush.
After that, who knows... the point is, Mush is something that is done
in Bart and Mine's spare time -- until someone is willing to "buy" or
license mush (e.g. "finance it"), things are going to continue to go
slowly, but not stop.

Also, people have obviously noticed that my signature indicates that I
am working for O'Reilly Associates.  sorry for not having announced
this earlier, but it's been a slow and gradual process.  I have left
Island Graphics and am now working for ORA -- my email address to island
is no longer there -- I get my mail at argv@sun.com (don't ask how that
came about) or argv@monet.berkeley.edu.

Please continue to send administrative mail to mush-users-request@garp.mit.edu
(many of you got in the habit of mailing me directly).
