That way, one could run Windows NT, which I always wanted to try (but couldn't, because I don't have the necessary hardware). This could also (with a slightly different approach) bring better speeds for i386 computations. > > I just rsync'ed the latest mol, and it appears to me that openbios isn't > inside.

It's really sad that there seems no other way to get up-to-date MOL sources. J.
