Hi Michael,
I'm really looking forward to your patches and an update on this slackware
business.
Please send patches to the list with your progress, and feel free to release
a BeOS binary in a few days when you get everything straightened out. But
the tree is getting tagged in a few minutes regardless. I can't waiver on
this at all unfortunately.
