Your help, in particular, with your detailed knowledge of the history
of the project and nature of the code and deltas will be invaluable,
along with the fact that you are encouraging the effort. That means
a lot!

After the holiday break I'll start to work on getting the
it to build and run on Linux. After that I'll work on getting
a clearer idea of what the merging process with the trunk will
entail and come up with a preliminary approach and document
and/or diagram what I've found in some for. Then we can discuss
it to find an approach the works for everyone.

Meanwhile, I'll talk to management to see how we can get this to happen.
I assume this is something mgt. wants and has the resources to engage,
at least enough of a percentage of time for there to be tangible
progress.

This increases my enthusiasm for getting this going quite a bit.
So thank you for that.

Paul
