Sorry for the delayed reply, my procmail filter was pumping mails to the old list name without telling me. :) Other than IBM, Motorola, and possibly Sun, what groups are using OFW on new platforms anymore? Power.org may be a vehicle to publish. The Power TSC leader indicated a willingness to look into a process to get out some purely internal bindings (at the moment) that _really_ need some fresh air to flourish. ++doug
