Boy, am I with you! I dearly miss my gnu environment :-(

I chk'd out 'alpha' some time ago, and turned away w/o trying it for the
following reasons:

1) tcl based; could NOT port my old lisp functions

2) tcl based; every thing that I've had experience with that was based on
tcl was very difficult to keep running; update a library, and everything
breaks; TOO MUCH hacking going on there for me.

I've been wrong before ... Maybe you could convince me that it is worth
trying!
