Speaking of which, I haven't gotten a response yet to my request to Mike
for the 2.2.x source to do an OS/2 32-bit port.  I tried this under 2.1,
and got an executable that would run a while and then mysteriously dump
core.  Of course I'm not a very good C programmer yet.  Although I've
learned a lot since last year's go at 2.1.1.2.

But I'd give 2.2 another shot, or, even better, I'd like Mike to give the
source to John Kennedy (kennedy@kennedy.bridgewater.ne.hcc.com) (to which
address I've _never_ been able to get mail to go), if John would agree to
do the port.  I know he's an Inform man, but I'd _love_ a 32-bit OS/2
tadsr/tadsc combo.  And from the work he's done on the Inform tools, I
think he'd do the job right; better than I could even if I can figure out
where TADS is stomping on memory it doesn't own.

I'm mostly posting this since mail to both of them seems to be spiraling
into the void.  John, are you at all interested in doing the port?
