I guess most - at least I think we will give source/object to
anyone who like it - For flow charts and other documentation
stuff we have to see if ther will be any usable form (beside
the usual notes on used paper towels). Let's use Freeware as
term, since I dislike the GPL thing on a pricipal base - it's
just way to strict to allow progress.

Let's see - I don't think you can use a lot, since the softwar
will be very Commo specific and written in Assm. Maybe the
communication design and protocols ... Maybe in 2000 we have
a mixed cluster ? :)))
