Several us here at Chico have started rewriting the thing...moving towards
client/server. We have decided to rewrite rather then hack the existing code,
so that the new stuff turns out right the first time :>

Anyway, it looks as if we may have some help from the Berkeley folks too.
Has anyone heard from Frank????? I haven't talked to him in so long, never
get replies to mail????
