Yes.

Stan Shebs, shebs@cygnus.com, who did the 2.3.3 port (which is 
unreliable, BTW) requiring MPW, is now apparently working on a 
standalone version of 2.5.8 which should be reliable and easy to update 
to newer versions.  Stan asked for some volunteers to help out a few 
days ago, so be sure to email him about it.

You realize that we're going to be flamed off the face of the planet for 
discussing this here.  As long as the subject has been breached, 
anyone have the latest word on the Apple lawsuit?
