 i would hate to look at the next nice operating system to
go down, as i had been watching os/2, which lives as eComstation,
but it was abandoned more or less, as much as i would hate to
look at good file system to be lost to humanity.
 should we bring openADVFS to life?
who will steal the code?
i am sure that code is full of copyrights, and pieces that
belong to long-dead companies, people long-gone, and it can
be virtually impossible to do anything, even if the federal law
would allow to take look at the code (which i belive it does not).
so what are the options for us? is tru64 going to be lost
when last of the alpha cpus is powerred down?
hp:give us the code and we will leave you in peace (for now)

Yours (not hp's;-))

P.S.
 sorry for breaking the rules of the list..
