I missed the report. Thanks for letting me know. I am trying to keep up with
interesting projects that will run on Solaris SPARC but I have a long list
of other stuff I am working on so most of what I'm interested in is always
on the back burner.

I hope it is granted quickly. If not maybe OpenCSW is another place to
ask. I believe they are hosting several other development efforts beside
their own. Not that I am suggesting that OpenCSW should be "the" source for
gm2 on Solaris, because I don't use OpenCSW but at least they seem to have
enough resources for hosting open source projects.

If you strike out (seems very doubtful) get in touch and depending on how
much time you need and what time(s) of day etc. I can possibly set up an
account for you on a box here. I have done that in the past for other
projects but it's a little harder now since I'm having some other equipment
problems and the summer is coming and running a SPARC server in my office is
no fun when it's hot!
